Abstract
Immersive virtual reality (IVR) and augmented reality (AR) are emerging technologies with significant potential in ultrasound education. IVR, utilizing head-mounted devices (HMDs), and AR, enhancing real-world views with digital overlays, have demonstrated their value in various educational and training scenarios. This narrative review examines the use of IVR and AR in ultrasound education, evaluating their effectiveness compared to traditional methods. Studies show that IVR and AR can match or surpass conventional training, offering benefits like standardized assessments and reduced costs. Despite some limitations, such as small sample sizes and potential conflicts of interest, the current data supports the viability of IVR and AR as tools for ultrasound education. Further research is needed to confirm these findings and explore broader applications.
沉浸式虚拟现实（IVR）和增强现实（AR）是新兴技术，在超声波教育中具有巨大潜力。利用头戴式设备（HMD）的沉浸式虚拟现实（IVR）和通过数字叠加增强真实世界视图的增强现实（AR）技术已在各种教育和培训场景中证明了其价值。本叙述性综述研究了 IVR 和 AR 在超声波教育中的应用，评估了它们与传统方法相比的效果。研究表明，IVR 和 AR 可以与传统培训相媲美，甚至超越传统培训，具有标准化评估和降低成本等优点。尽管存在一些局限性，如样本量小和潜在的利益冲突，但目前的数据支持 IVR 和 AR 作为超声教育工具的可行性。还需要进一步的研究来证实这些发现并探索更广泛的应用。
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Clinical Ultrasound (JCU) is an international journal dedicated to the worldwide dissemination of scientific information on diagnostic and therapeutic applications of medical sonography.
The scope of the journal includes--but is not limited to--the following areas: sonography of the gastrointestinal tract, genitourinary tract, vascular system, nervous system, head and neck, chest, breast, musculoskeletal system, and other superficial structures; Doppler applications; obstetric and pediatric applications; and interventional sonography. Studies comparing sonography with other imaging modalities are encouraged, as are studies evaluating the economic impact of sonography. Also within the journal''s scope are innovations and improvements in instrumentation and examination techniques and the use of contrast agents.
JCU publishes original research articles, case reports, pictorial essays, technical notes, and letters to the editor. The journal is also dedicated to being an educational resource for its readers, through the publication of review articles and various scientific contributions from members of the editorial board and other world-renowned experts in sonography.
