Popis: To investigate the utilization of an angiography-CT (Angio-CT) system and its advantages for single patient encounters.Interventions utilizing both CT and fluoroscopy to perform multiple procedures in a single encounter or single interventions using both were identified. Cases were stratified by complexity (defined by RVUs). Comparative analyses of room (TBetween June 2018 and August 2019, 1108 procedures were performed via the Angio-CT system; 10% (114/1108) used both fluoroscopy and CT. 21% (24/114) Involved more than one procedure in a single encounter that required a CT-only and fluoroscopy-only bundled procedure. 59% (67/114) were non-complex, and 70% (80/114) were non-oncologic. 82.5% (14/17) of non-complex bundled procedures demonstrated TThe primary use for the hybrid Angio-CT system was to perform non-oncologic and non-complex cases with potential reduction in T
