dvances in computing technology have enabled widespread availability of simulated reality technologies, including virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). A number of fields ranging from entertainment and gaming to the military, education, and sports (1-7) have adopted these technologies for use within their respective fields. These technologies provide stereoscopic and three-dimensional (3D) immersion within an environment, as in VR, or overlaid onto a real-world background, as in AR. Many medical specialties are now exploring the application of these tools for their respective fields (8-12). VR and AR technologies are a novel means to communicate and have potential for supplementing radiology training; communicating with colleagues, referring clinicians, and patients; and aiding in interventional radiology procedures. The purpose of this review article is to summarize how three imaging departments have explored VR and AR for radiology. First, we define VR and AR. Second, we detail its application for education and training, communication, and clinical care in interventional radiology. Finally, we review the current limitations and future directions for this technology for radiology.

“…By reducing specialist waiting times for outpatients, the radiology unit can serve more patients in the same time period, thereby increasing the overall productivity and output of the radiology unit. This increased efficiency also extends to the diagnosis and reporting process, as radiology physicians can access and review images quickly and easily through the PACS system, thereby enabling timely and accurate reporting to referring physicians (Gottumukkala, Le, Duszak Jr, & Prabhakar, 2018). By simplifying workflows and reducing wait times, PACS improves the overall efficiency of radiology services, enabling better resource utilization and the provision of more effective patient care.…”

The use of Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) has become an important step to increase the efficiency of radiology services. With PACS, fast access and flexibility in accessing patient medical images has had a major impact on reducing waiting times for radiology examination results. The aim of this research is to determine the waiting time for radiology services at the UPTD Embung Fatimah Regional Hospital, Batam City after implementing PACS. The research uses a mix-method method, namely research that combines quantitative and qualitative methods. Quantitative method by collecting service time data. Qualitative method by conducting in-depth interviews (in-depth interviews) and focus group discussions (FGD) to obtain information on perceptions from service implementers and users, then researchers will assess the impact of PACS on Minimum Service Standards (SPM) in the field of radiology at UPTD RSUD Embung Fatimah Batam city.The results of this research are that the use of PACS has significantly reduced radiology service time at the UPTD Embung Fatimah Regional Hospital, Batam City. There was a significant decrease in service time for outpatient services previously from 101.09 minutes to 62 minutes or 35.3%, for inpatient services from 108.26 minutes to 65.6 minutes or 41.04% and for CITO patients from 104.27 minutes to 60.5 minutes or 41.06% after application of PACS. The views of radiologists and radiographers regarding the differences in the quality of radiology services before and after using the PACS system show that there are better changes in the efficiency and quality of radiology services in hospitals. Stakeholder perceptions related to the speed of radiology service time after using the PACS system through various factors are considered to have a positive impact. Implementation of PACS clearly shows the potential for improving the efficiency, speed, and overall quality of radiology services. There was a significant reduction in waiting time for radiology examination services at the UPTD Embung Fatimah Hospital, Batam City after the implementation of PACS, which can provide an alternative in changing workflow and efficiency of radiology services.

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) technology hold potential across many disciplines in medicine to expand the delivery of education and healthcare. VR-AR applications in radiology, in particular, have gained prominence and have demonstrated advantages in many areas within the field. Recently, VR software has emerged to redesign the physical radiology workstation (ie, reading room) to expand the possibilities of diagnostic interpretation. Given the novelty of this technology, there is limited research investigating the potential applications of a simulated radiology workstation. In this review article, we explore VR-simulated reading room technology in its current form and illustrate the practical applications this technology will bring to future radiologists and learners. We also discuss the limitations and barriers to adopting this technology that must be overcome to truly understand its potential benefits. VR reading room technology offers great potential in radiology, but further research is needed to appreciate its benefits and identify areas for improvement. The findings and insights presented in this review contribute to the ongoing discourse on future technological advancements in radiology and healthcare, offering valuable recommendations for further research and practical implementation.
