The integration of interventional radiology (IR) and computed tomography (CT) within the same room has brought together two essential modalities, enhancing clinical capabilities and operational efficiency.
The IRCT2 project features a back-to-back control room, designed in conjunction with the IRCT1 project completed in 2021. Efficient use of space is critical to the success of this project, as it promotes collaboration among staff and facilitates quicker patient turnaround times. This innovative approach is set to improve both operational efficiency and patient care.
