French term

en salle « hybride » à la fois radiologique et chirurgicale.

French to English Medical Medical: Cardiology For a hospital brochure
Here is the full paragraph:
La prise en charge des pathologies vasculaires aortiques et périphériques est réalisée
depuis l’ouverture du Centre et depuis 1999 par le Dr Claude Mialhe, le plus souvent
par des techniques endovasculaires, en salle « hybride » à la fois radiologique
et chirurgicale.

Would it be better to say: ""radiological and surgical operating room" or "radiology and surgery room"?

in a dual-purpose radiology and surgical theatre/room

I think the main problem here (at least in UK English) is that surgery is traditionally done in a "theatre", whereas "radiology" may well be done in a mere "room".

en salle « hybride » à la fois radiologique et chirurgicale
-->
in a dual-purpose radiology and surgical theatre/room

I would tend towards "theatre", since the final objective is surgery - not radiology (radiology is being being brought into the 'theatre', surgery is not being done in the radiology 'room').

Either way, I wouldn't use "hybrid" in English, because that's not precisely what the French "hybride" means in this context.

The hereunder link reads a example of hybrid room. The concept came from new techniques, minimally invasive, that combine chirurgical gestures and medical imaging, each of them requiring a specific room. Now, with the hybrid place, people can work as a team in a single and common operating room.
