Abstract:

BACKGROUND: Virtual reality technology applied research in the field of medicine has achieved fruitful results and shows a good prospect, it is an important tool of digital medical research.
OBJECTIVE: To introduce the design and application of computer-based case simulation system with virtual reality technology.
METHODS: A computer-based search was performed on CNKI database, VIP database, Wanfang database and EBSCO database for the relate articles from 1991 to 2011 with the key words of “case simulations, CCS, virtual reality” in English and “virtual reality, case simulation” in Chinese. A total of 85 articles were obtained and finally 20 articles were included according to the inclusion criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The application of virtual reality technology in the medical field has become more and more wide. The case simulation system designed by virtual reality technology provides the medical workers a new interactive skill training methods. The simulation of the patient’s disease status by the interactive computer software is realized, and the clinical course is simulated realistically. And the assessment of the practical skills for the users were achieved, including basic inspection capacity, use and judgment of the high-tech diagnostic techniques, judgment of check results, diagnostic capability, drug treatment capacity, ability to use non-drug treatment and the comprehensive treatment capacity. The virtual simulation system platform has a good prospect in medical education and clinical skills training.
