Abstract
Currently, intraoperative computed tomography (iCT) is a scarcely used technique in neurosurgery. It remains unclear whether this phenomenon is explained by unfavorable iCT-related workflows and/or a limited number of indications. We here analyzed workflows of an installed dual-room iCT (DR-iCT) as compared to surgical procedures lacking iCT. We compared infection rates, utilizations rates, and the spectrum of indications of DR-iCT with that of a previously used single-room iCT.Keywords
