Multimodality imaging suite: neo-futuristic diagnostic imaging operating suite marks a significant milestone for innovation in medical technology.

Abstract

In February 2006, Tokai University Hospital officially opened the imaging operation suite, which is the first hybrid neurosurgical procedure suite to combine magnetic resonance imaging, computed tomography and angiography with a neurosurgical operating room. Here, we describe the concept of the imaging operation suite and the first 4 years' experience using this suite.
