Clinical Applications of Virtual and Augmented Reality in Radiology: A Scoping Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have emerged as innovative tools in healthcare, particularly using diagnostic and interventional imaging methods, offering new avenues for enhancing patient care and procedural outcomes. Their applications range from improving preoperative planning and pain management to providing advanced procedural support and training. Despite their growing integration into clinical practice, evidence of their cost-effectiveness and specific clinical benefits when using radiological tools remains limited. This review aims to map the current landscape of VR and AR applications using radiological modalities and highlight areas for future research. Objective: This scoping review explores the clinical applications of VR and AR in diff
