Abstract
Since the Hybrid Emergency Room System (HERS) developed in 2017, many facilities have adopted it when setting up new computed tomography or emergency rooms. Regardless of whether they have HERS, the term has become more common, and it likely interests several medical teams.
HERS allows for medical treatment while ensuring both safety and rapidity, making it a highly valuable emergency room, especially for trauma and emergency cases. However since HERS is based on IVR-CT, it also requires the involvement of radiologists and IR specialists, suggesting that it can be effectively used within the field of radiology as well. It is desirable for radiologists and IR specialists to share their knowledge of HERS and promote its use widely. This discussion will cover the operation of HERS, present cases, and examine the roles of radiologists and IR specialists in this system.
