Summary
Virtual reality (VR) significantly enhances radiology education, improving student skills in areas like patient positioning and radiographic techniques. While effective, varied study designs limit broad recommendations for VR integration.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education Technology
- Radiology Training Innovations
- Virtual Reality Applications
Background:
- Virtual Reality (VR) is increasingly vital in medical education.
- Radiology education has begun incorporating VR technology.
- A comprehensive review on VR in radiology education is lacking.
Approach:
- Systematic literature review of VR in radiology education.
- Searched PubMed, Scopus, ScienceDirect, and Google Scholar (inception–September 1, 2023).
- Applied PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines for study selection.
Key Points:
- 17 articles were analyzed, including randomized trials and cross-sectional studies.
- VR demonstrated significant effectiveness over traditional methods in improving radiographic and radiologic skills.
- Students reported positive feedback on VR's utility, ease of use, satisfaction, and impact on skill acquisition.
Conclusions:
- VR use offers substantial benefits for radiology students across various educational aspects.
- The heterogeneity of included studies restricts comprehensive recommendations for VR implementation.
