摘要
Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology hold potential across many disciplines in medicine to expand the delivery of education and healthcare. VR-AR applications in radiology, in particular, have gained prominence and have demonstrated advantages in many areas within the field. Recently, VR software has emerged to redesign the physical radiology workstation (ie, reading room) to expand the possibilities of diagnostic interpretation. Given the novelty of this technology, there is limited research investigating the potential applications of a simulated radiology workstation. In this review article, we explore VR-simulated reading room technology in its current form and illustrate the practical applications this technology will bring to future radiologists and learners. We also discuss the limitations and barriers to adopting this technology that must be overcome to truly understand its potential benefits. VR reading room technology offers great potential in radiology, but further research is needed to appreciate its benefits and identify areas for improvement. The findings and insights presented in this review contribute to the ongoing discourse on future technological advancements in radiology and healthcare, offering valuable recommendations for further research and practical implementation. Visual Abstract This is a visual representation of the abstract. Les technologies de r & eacute;alit & eacute; virtuelle (RV) et de r & eacute;alit & eacute; augment & eacute;e (RA) sont porteuses de potentiel dans de nombreuses disciplines m & eacute;dicales en mati & egrave;re de formation et de soins de sant & eacute;. En radiologie en particulier, les applications de RV et de RA ont gagn & eacute; en popularit & eacute; et ont fait la d & eacute;monstration de nombreux avantages dans ce domaine. Un logiciel de RV mis au point r & eacute;cemment a boulevers & eacute; la conception mat & eacute;rielle d'un poste de travail de radiologie (c'est-& agrave;-dire la salle de lecture). Il pourrait multiplier les possibilit & eacute;s d'interpr & eacute;tation diagnostique. Compte tenu de l'apparition r & eacute;cente de cette technologie, il n'y a que peu de recherches & eacute;tudiant les applications potentielles d'un poste de travail de radiologie simul & eacute;. Dans cet article de synth & egrave;se, nous explorons la technologie de la salle de lecture simul & eacute;e en RV dans sa forme actuelle et illustrons les applications pratiques que cette technologie apportera aux futurs radiologistes et apprenants. Nous aborderons & eacute;galement les limites et obstacles qui doivent & ecirc;tre surmont & eacute;s en vue de l'adoption de cette technologie afin de d & eacute;finir ses r & eacute;els avantages potentiels. La technologie de salle de lecture en RV en radiologie est tr & egrave;s prometteuse, mais des recherches suppl & eacute;mentaires sont n & eacute;cessaires pour & eacute;valuer ses avantages et d & eacute;finir des champs d'am & eacute;lioration. Les constatations et points de vue pr & eacute;sent & eacute;s dans cette revue contribuent au d & eacute;bat en cours sur les progr & egrave;s technologiques futurs en radiologie et dans les soins de sant & eacute;. Des recommandations utiles en vue des futures recherches et mises en oe uvre pratiques y sont propos & eacute;es.
