Περίληψη:
Incorporation of radiology into anatomy education is a frequently used
teaching strategy. Our purpose was to investigate to what extent virtual
reality can play a significant role when radiology is taught in
conjunction with anatomy. PubMed, SCOPUS, Education Resources
Information Center, and Cochrane databases were searched for articles
with the aim to evaluate the outcomes of incorporation of radiology in
anatomy education, using virtual reality. From each included paper, the
following data were extracted: authors, number of participants, type of
study (comparative or not), level of outcome according to Kirkpatrick
hierarchy, and outcomes of the use of virtual reality when radiology was
incorporated in anatomy education.
Seven papers were included. From them, three were comparative and
evaluated students' academic performance after the educational
intervention, while four were non-comparative and evaluated only
students' opinions about the intervention. In all studies, the use of
virtual reality for the incorporation of radiology into anatomy teaching
was positively perceived. Also, the three studies which evaluated
academic performance showed that virtual reality was effective in terms
of enhancing anatomy knowledge.
The implementation of virtual reality for the incorporation of radiology
into anatomy education has been accompanied by positive outcomes. These
outcomes may encourage educators to teach radiology in conjunction with
anatomy using virtual reality.
