“…All articles reviewed were single institution studies with small sample sizes. The simulated procedures in the aforementioned articles included endoscopic biliary drainage [53], minimallyinvasive CT-guided spine procedures [54], and ultrasound guided femoral artery access [55,56]. showed a significant increase in the confidence in needle stick placement for a control group, which was trained on a 3D model once, and a training group, which was trained on a 3D model twice.…”

“…A recent needs-assessment survey prioritized the development of ultrasound-guided or interventional procedures for simulation-based training [56]. Contrary to aforementioned evidence of existing IR simulators [10,[13][14][15][16][17][18]19], interventional-based simulations remain one of the least common training opportunities available [6].…”

“…CT-guided facet block) [54]. Sheu et al tested concurrent validity by comparing their 3D printed model to the FemoraLineMan CM (Simulab Corp, Seattle, Washington), a commercially available femoral access simulator [56]. This degree of variation in objective feedback raised concerns for a low to moderate degree of bias during QUADAS-2 evaluation.…”

“…A potential reason for a limited number of validation measures was that the study population was primarily medical students, as opposed to residents or fellows. Medical students' lack of clinical experience compared to residents, fellows, or attendings minimizes confounders when evaluating procedural performance [13,56]. While each study could circumvent its study population by establishing face validity on appropriate imaging modalities, future studies evaluating 3D printed simulation will require more robust testing with resident and attendings, especially in regard to predictive validity.…”

“…The biliary simulation was one of the cheapest models to produce, costing approximately $170 for materials, while the lumbar spinal simulation, which required staged printing of bony structures, nerves, and vessels before assembly, was estimated to cost $5400. Sheu et al's femoral access model, with an estimated lifetime was approximately a dozen punctures, cost approximately $647 for the initial model and $100 to replace the 3D-printed vessels, in contrast to competitive alternatives, which may cost between $2,000-$4,000, with replacement parts costing between $600 and $1600 [56]. This, however, does not factor the printer and software costs, which, again, widely varied between studies.…”

Objectives: The purpose of this review was to assess the use of three-dimensional (3D) printing in interventional radiology (IR) simulation experiences.Materials and Methods: A literature query was conducted in April 2020 for articles discussing 3D printing for simulations in numerous library databases using various search terms.Results: While trainee feedback is generally supportive of 3D printing within the field of IR, current applications utilizing 3D printed models are heterogeneous, reflecting a lack of best practices standards in the realm of medical education.Conclusions: Presently available literature endorses the use of 3D printing within IR. 3D printing has the potential to expand within the field, as it offers a straightforward, sustainable, and reproducible means for hands-on training that ought to be standardized.

Introduction Interventional radiology (IR) is a rapidly developing speciality where innovation—especially in teaching practices—is vital. With workforce and capacity shortages, synthesis of classical educational theories and novel strategies utilising virtual reality (VR) and artificial intelligence (AI) provide opportunities to make teaching as efficient and effective as possible. The aim of this review is to examine the literature on different approaches in IR teaching and learning in undergraduates and postgraduates. Methods Literature was reviewed using a comprehensive search strategy with relevant keywords. Articles were limited to 2013–2023. Databases searched included MEDLINE, Embase, British Education Index and ERIC, in addition to a manual review of references. Results Of the 2903 unique abstracts reviewed by the authors, 43 were relevant to the purpose of this study. The major pedagogical approaches identified were categorised into the following—traditional master-apprentice mentoring, virtual reality/simulation, physical models, and remote teaching. VR simulations enable practise free from the limits of time and risk to patients, as well as potential for standardised formal curricula. AI has the capability to enhance training simulations and assessment of trainees. With recent events necessitating innovation in online remote teaching, programs that are accessible whilst arguably imparting just as much clinical knowledge as in-person education have now been developed. Conclusion Mentoring has conventionally been the standard for radiology teaching, however there are now several alternative pedagogical approaches available to the IR community. A combination of the most effective ideas within each is the optimal method by which IR should be taught.

Ultrasonography in undergraduate medical education: a comprehensive review and the education program implemented at Jichi Medical University

The concept of point-of-care ultrasound has been widely accepted owing to the development of portable ultrasound systems and growing body of evidence concerning its extensive utility. Thus, it is reasonable to suggest that training to use this modality be included in undergraduate medical education. Training in ultrasonography helps medical students learn basic subjects such as anatomy and physiology, improve their physical examination skills, and acquire diagnostic and procedural skills. Technological advances such as simulators, affordable handheld devices, and tele-ultrasound systems can facilitate undergraduate ultrasound education. Several reports have indicated that some medical schools have integrated ultrasound training into their undergraduate medical curricula. Jichi Medical University in Japan has been providing medical students with ultrasound education to fulfill part of its mission to provide medical care to rural areas. Vertical integration of ultrasound education into a curriculum seems reasonable to ensure skill retention and improvement. However, several issues have hampered the integration of ultrasound into medical education, including a lack of trained faculty, the need to recruit human models, requisition of ultrasound machines for training, and limited curricular space; proposed solutions include peer teaching, students as trained simulated patients, the development of more affordable handheld devices, and a flipped classroom approach with access to an e-learning platform, respectively. A curriculum should be developed through multidisciplinary and bottom-up student-initiated approaches. Formulating national and international consensuses concerning the milestones and curricula can promote the incorporation of ultrasound training into undergraduate medical education at the national level.
