Description
Summary:Access to multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) scanning for interventional procedures can prove to be logistically challenging as resources are often in different areas within the hospital. At some institutions, interventional radiology suites have moved to the operating room, separate from the diagnostic radiology department. At these institutions, complex interventional procedures requiring both fluoroscopy and MDCT may pose logistical challenges, especially as they pertain to timely patient transfers. Hybrid CT/fluoroscopy suite provides rapid, reliable MDCT assessment of trauma patients before and after emergent surgery, as well as access to the entire spectrum of emergent image-guided interventions in the same suite.
