Summary
Virtual reality simulation effectively enhances interventional radiology education by improving skill acquisition. Further research is needed to standardize its use across diverse procedures.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Radiology
- Simulation Technology
Background:
- Traditional methods for teaching interventional radiology are being supplemented by innovative simulation technologies.
- Virtual reality (VR) offers a promising avenue for immersive and interactive medical training.
Purpose of the Study:
- To systematically review and compare the efficacy of virtual reality simulation against other teaching modalities in interventional radiology.
Main Methods:
- A comprehensive systematic review was conducted using multiple databases, adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines.
- Five randomized clinical trials were included after applying eligibility and quality assessments based on the Best Evidence Medical Education (BEME) Guide No. 11 and Kirkpatrick's model.
Main Results:
- Virtual reality simulation is recognized for its ability to consolidate concepts and benefit interventional radiology education.
- Studies indicated VR's effectiveness in skill acquisition and learning, with evaluations reaching Kirkpatrick levels 2B and 4B.
Conclusions:
- Virtual reality simulation is a beneficial tool for teaching interventional radiology, particularly for skill acquisition.
- There is a recognized need for more studies to evaluate and standardize VR technology application for the wide range of interventional radiology procedures.
