Article Abstract
Although cone-beam computed tomography (CT) is the predominant cross-sectional imaging modality used by interventional radiologists, advancements in hybrid angiography-CT technology have demonstrated a strong potential for increased utilization in the angiography suite. The benefits of increased workflow efficiency, decreased relative cost, multipurpose utility, and most importantly, improved patient care, may encourage institutions to accept the higher upfront cost of angiography-CT rooms for potential long-term benefits. Hybrid angiography-CT setups are less prone to motion and streak artifacts and may provide superior image quality compared with cone-beam CT. Although angiography-CT technology has been most frequently utilized for oncologic treatments, its use is being expanded across multiple applications. In this review, the authors illustrate 6 nonhepatic cases at 2 tertiary hospitals that each showcase how angiography-CT technology enabled an intervention.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how often clinically relevant extracardiac findings occur during cardiac CT and MRI exams across various patient demographics and examination reasons.
- The analysis included over 200,000 cardiac CT scans and over 228,000 cardiac MRI scans, revealing extracardiac findings in 3.28% of CT exams and 1.50% of MRI exams, with higher rates associated with specific procedures like transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
- Older patients showed a significant increase in the prevalence of these findings, emphasizing the importance of age and examination purpose in assessing patient outcomes.
Quantitative differences in volumetric calculations for radiation dosimetry in segmental Y90 treatment planning using hybrid angiography-CT compared with anatomic segmentation.

Objective: To compare treatment volumes reconstructed from hybrid Angio-CT catheter-directed infusion imaging and Couinaud anatomic model as well as the implied differences in Y-90 radiation dosimetry.
Methods: Patients who underwent transarterial radioembolization (TARE) using Y-90 glass microspheres with pretreatment CT or MRI imaging as well as intraprocedural angiography-CT (Angio-CT) were analysed. Treatment volumes were delineated using both tumoural angiosomes (derived from Angio-CT) and Couinaud anatomic landmarks.
Background: Current techniques to evaluate computed tomography (CT) foot perfusion in patients with critical limb ischemia use high contrast doses and cannot be used during endovascular procedures. CT perfusion of the foot with intra-arterial contrast injection during endovascular treatment in a hybrid angiography CT suite might solve these problems.
Purpose: The main objective of this study was to evaluate whether intra-arterial CT foot perfusion using a hybrid CT angiosystem is feasible during endovascular treatment for critical limb ischemia.

Objective: For transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation, ultrasound guidance for portal vein puncture is strongly recommended. However, outside regular hours of service, a skilled sonographer might be lacking. Hybrid intervention suites combine CT imaging with conventional angiography allowing to project 3D information into the conventional 2D imaging and further CT-fluoroscopic puncture of the portal vein.
