The use of virtual reality environments for medical training

Abstract

GE Healthcare wanted to address these restrictions by creating a VR environment that simulated the hands-on experience of completing CTCA scans. Their aim was to make a training tool that could be accessed 24/7, reducing the need for onsite training and therefore lowering training costs and minimizing health risks to patients. Ultimately, this should mean that more radiographers are CTCA trained, leading to better assessment of patients and better outcomes.
