As a third major discipline on par with internal medicine and surgery,interventional radiology is one of the key branches of modern medicine.The unique practicality and innovation of interventional radiology make it play an irreplaceable role in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases.In recent years,with the rapid development of technology and the updating of educational concepts,the teaching mode of interventional radiology is facing new challenges and opportunities.This article combines the clinical training methods adopted by interventional physicians in Europe and Germany,integrates imaging,anatomy and pathology teaching,strengthens the foundation,uses virtual reality(VR),augmented reality(AR)technology,and simulation training to enhance the practical ability of medical students.At the same time,with the help of online education platforms,the innovative methods and optimization strategies such as personalized learning program are implemented,which can greatly improve the teaching effectiveness of interventional radiology and provide useful references for teaching reform in this field.

Objective To investigate the variation in the position of conus medullaris in Chinese adult population in order to avoid hitting conus during spinal puncture. Methods Eight hundred patients suffering from back pain, aged 18-91 yr, were enrolled in this study. The position of conus medullaris was determined using Siemens 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging system. According to the method described by Reimann, the vertebral body was used as mark of reference to the level of the end of conus. Results There were 190 patients in whom the position of the end of conus medullaris was lower than L1,2 . The incidence of the position of the end of conus medullaris lower than L1,2 was higher in patients 30-60 or older than in those under 30, and in those over the age of 60 than in those 30-60 (P < 0.05). Conclusion Spinal puncture should be performed cautiously at L2,3. CT or MRI is recommended before operation for the patients to locate the position of conus medullaris and avoid injury to the spinal cord.
