Summary

The Procedicus Virtual Interventional Simulator Trainer (Procedicus-VIST) showed limited ability to differentiate between expert and novice interventional radiologists. Further studies are needed to compare virtual reality training with traditional methods.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Interventional Radiology Training

Background:

  • Virtual reality simulators offer potential for procedural training.
  • Assessing the construct validity of simulators is crucial for effective training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the construct validity of the Procedicus Virtual Interventional Simulator Trainer (Procedicus-VIST).
  • To determine the utility of Procedicus-VIST as an educational tool for interventional radiology.

Main Methods:

  • Interventional radiologists (experts) and medical students (novices) performed renal artery procedures on the Procedicus-VIST.
  • Objective performance data (e.g., procedure time, fluoroscopic time) and subjective feedback were collected.
  • Participants completed a familiarization session followed by a testing period.

Main Results:

  • No significant performance differences were found between experts and novices in most quantitative metrics.
  • Novices used significantly more fluoroscopic time than experts.
  • Both groups provided generally favorable subjective ratings of the simulator's realism and pedagogic value.

Conclusions:

  • The Procedicus-VIST, in this study, did not effectively differentiate skill levels based on most quantitative metrics.
  • Fluoroscopic time was the only metric that distinguished between expert and novice performance.
  • Further research is recommended to compare virtual reality training outcomes against standard catheterization laboratory training.
