Abstract :
The radiology and surgery worlds need to merge for operations guided by imagery, such as mini-invasive procedures (stenting, valve implants, and so on). Consequently, the current trend is the hybridization of radiology and surgery rooms. These rooms are said to be hybrid when the operating room combines the features of a conventional cardiac surgery operating room with those of a radiology room, thereby linking medical imaging and surgery.
