Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented Reality (AR) are emerging technologies with the potential to revolutionize Interventional radiology (IR). These innovations offer advantages in patient care, interventional planning, and educational training by improving the visualization and navigation of medical images. Despite progress, several challenges hinder their widespread adoption, including limitations in navigation systems, cost, clinical acceptance, and technical constraints of AR/VR equipment. However, ongoing research holds promise with recent advancements such as shape-sensing needles and improved organ deformation modeling. The development of deep learning techniques, particularly for medical imaging segmentation, presents a promising avenue to address existing accuracy and precision issues. Future applications of AR/VR in IR include simulation-based training, preprocedural planning, intraprocedural guidance, and increased patient engagement. As these technologies advance, they are expected to facilitate telemedicine, enhance operational efficiency, and improve patient outcomes, marking a new frontier in interventional radiology.

介入放射学中的虚拟和增强现实:当前应用、挑战和未来方向

虚拟现实(VR)和增强现实(AR)是新兴技术，有可能彻底改变介入放射学(IR)。这些创新通过改善医学图像的可视化和导航，为患者护理、介入计划和教育培训提供了优势。尽管取得了进展，但仍存在一些挑战阻碍其广泛采用，包括导航系统的限制、成本、临床接受度和AR/VR设备的技术限制。然而，正在进行的研究为最近的进展带来了希望，例如形状感应针和改进的器官变形建模。深度学习技术的发展，特别是在医学成像分割方面，为解决现有的准确性和精度问题提供了一条有前途的途径。AR/VR在IR中的未来应用包括基于模拟的培训、术前计划、术中指导和增加患者参与。随着这些技术的进步，它们有望促进远程医疗，提高操作效率，改善患者预后，标志着介入放射学的新前沿。

期刊介绍： Interventional radiology is an area of clinical diagnosis and management that is highly technique-oriented. Therefore, the format of this quarterly journal, which combines the visual impact of an atlas with the currency of a journal, lends itself perfectly to presenting the topics. Each issue is guest edited by a leader in the field and is focused on a single clinical technique or problem. The presentation is enhanced by superb illustrations and descriptive narrative outlining the steps of a particular procedure. Interventional radiologists, neuroradiologists, vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons will find this a useful addition to the clinical literature.
