  		Fig. 5. —70-year-old man with nonhealing ulcer and osteomyelitis of forefoot.

A and B, Digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) image (A) and MR angiogram (B) were rated as having equivalent image quality by all observers. In B, note better depiction of metatarsal arteries and slight venous superimposition. Also, note tendency to overestimate distal anterior tibial artery stenosis in B (arrow) compared with A.
