Abstract:
Objective To discuss the necessity and feasibility of application of virtual reality (VR) technology in the teaching course of radiotherapy technology based on the contradictions between the theory and practice of current teaching mode.Methods After in-depth analysis of the characteristics of the existing disciplinary teaching mode,VR technology was introduced to design software,glasses,operating handles and establish a special interactive platform. The teaching courses could be delivered via mobile phone side AR, helmet and AR, touch screen and PC virtual simulation with VR virtual simulation, etc. Six processes of radiotherapy were tested through online courses and offline groups to analyze the feasibility of this technology applied in the training of radiotherapy professionals. Results After the design of software and hardware and the analysis of test results,the online teaching could be utilized to write interactive programs,build virtual experience scenes, create course resource database and construct practical training courses and teaching system. The offline practice test could be applied to the simulation learning of feedback of the whole process, which possessed feasibility and development value. It could be applied to the theory and practice teaching of radiation therapy technology,making the teaching more convenient,vivid and intuitive. Conclusions VR technique combined with radiotherapy technology training can be delivered through online and offline teaching courses of theory and practice by using the plane and virtual simulation technology, which is convenient, quick and highly efficient and deserves widespread application.
