Role of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality in Medical Imaging

What is it about?

The role of automation and artificial intelligence plays a pivotal role in the healthcare sector for disease diagnosis and surgical preplanning. Augmented reality and virtual reality have immense applications in the healthcare industry, and especially medical imaging enjoys fruitful outcomes. Augmented reality is a technology that couples real-world objects with virtual ones, while virtual reality generates a completely virtual environment. The AR and VR role is inevitable in radiology for proficient disease diagnosis and treatment planning. Radiology education has a new face change with the advancements in AR and VR. The 3D modeling of medical data helps doctors and physicians have an efficient understanding of the anatomy and anomalies. The AR and VR aid biomedical engineers in visualizing the internal circuitry of scanning equipment and facilitate the ease of repair, paving the way to propose a design for better proficiency. For troubleshooting scanning equipment, a service engineer utilizes AR and VR tools to discuss with the experts to find an optimum solution. The chapter organization is as follows: AR and VR technology and its impact in the health care sector, the role of AR and VR in medical imaging, different perspectives of AR and VR applications in radiology, and the future of radiology with AR and VR technology.
