Mapping the use of extended reality (XR) in radiation oncology education: a scoping review protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

As the field of radiation oncology continues to evolve with rapidly advancing technologies, the need for innovative educational methods is critical. Extended reality (XR) technologies-including virtual reality, augmented reality and mixed reality-have emerged as transformative tools in medical education. While the potential of XR in healthcare education is recognised, there is a lack of comprehensive exploration specifically in the context of radiation oncology education. This scoping review aims to map the existing literature on XR technologies in radiation oncology training and education, identify barriers to their adoption and highlight opportunities for broader integration into curricula.

Methods

This scoping review will follow the Arksey and O'Malley framew
