Outline of Final Research Achievements

As radiology becomes more popular around the world, there is a need for technology to safely and effectively use X-ray equipment in order to minimize patient exposure and use radiation effectively. Medical technician training schools offer practical training to learn the skills to operate medical equipment, but there are issues such as exposure to radiation. This research develops medical radiation technology educational materials that allow students and medical staff to conduct training in an XR environment, and uses this system to clarify its effectiveness.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

開発したXRアプリケーションにより、被ばくを伴うことなく、放射線検査の様子や被ばく低減対策を検討することが出来るようになった。放射線の装置は高額であり容易に使用することが出来ないため、仮想環境を使いトレーニングをすることは効率的である。またアプリケーションは一般公開することで国内外を問わず多くの人が使用することが出来る。その点で社会的意義が高いと言える。
