Time requirements for intraoperative neurosonography.

R M Quencer, B M Montalvo

    AJR. American Journal of Roentgenology
    |April 1, 1986

    Summary

    Radiologists spend an average of 1 hour in spinal and 52 minutes in intracranial surgeries for intraoperative neurosonography. This time varies with complexity, with only 20% dedicated to the actual study.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Radiology
    • Medical Imaging

    Background:

    • Intraoperative neurosonography is a valuable tool in surgical procedures.
    • Understanding the time commitment for radiologists is crucial for service planning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the time requirements for radiologists performing intraoperative neurosonography.
    • To provide data for optimizing the integration of neurosonography services into surgical workflows.

    Main Methods:

    • Prospective monitoring of 85 consecutive intracranial and spinal operative procedures.
    • Detailed recording of radiologist time spent in the operating room.

    Main Results:

    • Average radiologist time: 1 hour (spinal) and 52 minutes (intracranial).
    • Time varied significantly based on surgical complexity.
    • Only 20% of radiologist's OR time was spent on sonography and interpretation.
    • 24% of cases were emergencies or outside normal working hours.

    Conclusions:

    • Radiologist time in intraoperative neurosonography is influenced by case complexity and urgency.
    • These time factors should be considered when implementing or expanding intraoperative neurosonography services.
