Utilization of extended-reality technologies in the field of medical radiation.
Review in Radiological physics and technology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Extended reality (XR), which encompasses virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), has advanced rapidly in the field of medical radiation, transforming diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, radiation therapy, and radiation protection education. XR enables the immersive visualization of 3D anatomical structures generated from CT and MRI data, thereby enhancing spatial understanding, medical education, and surgical planning. Patient-specific 3D models overlaid onto the real environment through AR/MR support intuitive intraoperative navigation, improve procedural accuracy, and reduce operation time. In radiology, XR-based virtual reading rooms integrate 2D/3D digital imaging and communications in medicine (DICOM) images, facilitating interactive interpretation and collaborative training. Haptic-integrated XR further enhances training effectiveness by combining tactile and visual feedback. In nuclear medicine, AR assists in sentinel lymph-node biopsies and the real-time visualization of radiopharmaceutical distribution. Radiation therapy applications include AR-guided patient setups, VR-based training systems for equipment operation, and improved patient education through interactive XR simulations. XR also plays a vital role in radiation protection by visualizing scattered radiation using WebXR, VR, and AR platforms, enhancing safety awareness among medical personnel. Emerging systems that integrate XR with real-time tracking enable personalized dose estimation during fluoroscopy. Despite these advantages, challenges remain in terms of implementation costs, registration accuracy, hardware limitations, workflow integration, and the shortage of XR-proficient personnel. Establishing standardized frameworks and evidence-based validations are essential for broader adoption. XR has significant potential to enhance safety, efficiency, and educational quality across the field of medical radiation.
