Abstract:
Metaverse is a reality-connected parallel universe created by human beings by the aid of various techniques including virtue reality, augmented reality, mixed reality, 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and so on. It provides immersive user experience and brings disruptive changes to social networking, games, medicine, education, etc. The application of metaverse in radiation medicine has not been reported yet, but with the increasingly prominent role of radiation medicine in the fields of disease diagnosis and treatment, nuclear energy safety, and manned space exploration, it can be predicted that metaverse will promote the development of radiation medicine. This paper reviews the possible influence of metaverse on the development of radiation medicine field, and suggests China start the creation and application of radiomediverse, a metaverse for radiation medicine, as soon as possible.
