Interventional radiology is an emerging discipline based on image-guided minimally invasive diagnosis and treatment. The number of interventional procedures performed is increasing year by year, resulting in a dramatic increase in the demand for interventional radiologists. Procedure training systems based on virtual reality (VR) technology simulate real interventional procedure through real-time interaction between hand manipulators and virtual environments, allowing physicians to experience real interventional procedures during training and reducing training time and costs. A growing number of medical schools are now adopting VR simulated training systems for interventional procedure training. This article reviews the relevant research progress of VR simulation interventional procedure training system in recent years and discusses the development prospects of VR technology in interventional procedure training.
