Abstract Background When using mobile 3D C-arms, impairments in image quality occur due to artefacts caused by metal implants as well as to the limited field of view. To avoid these restrictions, special computed tomography devices were designed, in order to improve image quality and to meet requirements for intraoperative usage. Objectives To analyse practicability and benefits of a mobile intraoperative CT device (Airo, Brainlab, Munich, Germany) on the basis of several parameters that were obtained during a 40-month period. Materials and Methods All procedures that were performed with usage of intraoperative CT between January 2017 and April 2020 were analysed with respect to anatomical region, count of scans, duration of scans, consequences drawn from the scans and use of navigation. Results 354 CT-scans were performed in 171 patients (mean 2.07 [1–6] scans per procedure). 47.81% of the procedures were spinal, 52.19% affected the pelvis. 83% of the procedures were navigated. In 22% of patients, improvement in implant placement or reduction was achieved; in most patients (55%), a guidewire for pedicle screws was corrected. The mean scan du
