Last week, TV2 Fyn went out to film students from the Radiography Program at UCL Erhvervsakademi og Professionshøjskole. The students have received a VR simulator from which they can practice positioning when taking X-ray images. Christian Bollerup discusses the advantages the students gain from using the simulator and how pleased we are with the collaboration with UCL, the students, and the instructors.

Ny VR-teknologi på radiografstudiet | TV 2 Fyn I videoen kan du høre Christian Nyrnberg Bollerup, der VP of sales i VITASIM, fortælle mere om den nye teknologi, som han har været med til at udvikle.

UCL's Radiography Program has just unveiled a brand-new VR Lab 👨‍⚕️🥽
And it's even the world's first VR solution that allows radiography students to receive feedback without the need for an instructor to be present, according to VitaSim, the manufacturer behind it 😃
With VR technology, students can practice essential skills over and over 💪
For example, how to take quality X-ray images of wrists, knees, shoulders, and feet.
"It's a great start to get a lot of repetition into your backbone," says Max Baastrup, a radiography student in his second semester 🙋‍♂️
"I feel more prepared to go into practice at a hospital and meet patients," says fellow student Kathrine Nielsen 🙋‍♀️
Max and Kathrine have just gone through a practice-preparation course in their program.
During this, they used the new VR X-Ray Simulator.
"I've gained a good understanding of what makes a good X-ray image," says Kathrine.
"For example, how to position what you're imaging, and how to adjust the X-ray tube," she says.
The VR technology supplements that students can also practice taking X-ray images with real X-ray equipment in the program's X-ray room 👍
"The advantage of VR is that it allows us to take lots of extra pictures," says Kathrine.
"It makes me feel more calm and clear before I go out to meet patients. It also means I can focus more on the patient and give them a better experience," she says.
Students also have access to VR technology outside of class.
"I like to have peace around me when I practice. So, I've also used the VR technology in my free time," says Max.
"It can be hard to understand the theory if you just read about it. So, it means a lot to me to get it in my hands, and the VR solution is straightforward to use," he says.
"The VR technology also has the advantage that you can 'peel off' the skin and see the bones while you're conducting an examination," says Kathrine 🦴
"It makes it easier to see and understand what you're doing," she says.
Both Max and Kathrine have started their first of several longer internships at a hospital this week.

Our X-Ray Simulator is Now Live⭐️🚀🩻

We are thrilled to announce that our cutting-edge X-Ray simulator is officially released! A major step forward in simulation training for the healthcare sector, this tool is designed to provide an immersive, safe, and effective learning environment for radiography students.

We're particularly excited that UCL Erhvervsakademi og Professionshøjskole Radiography Education has started incorporating our simulator into their curriculum. This marks a significant milestone in our mission to enhance educational experiences and outcomes in healthcare training.

Today, we had the privilege of speaking with two students from UCL, who shared their firsthand experiences with the simulator:

Tobias Vatna remarked, "We're in our second semester and haven't yet had the chance to take 'real' X-ray images. Students in the third semester were just thrown into it, but we'll have had the opportunity to practice in VR first. I believe this makes us better prepared than if we hadn't had the chance to train in VR."

Naja Sørensen added, "It's great not having to worry about radiation. Here, I can take as many pictures as I want, make mistakes, and correct them without the fear of radiation exposure."

Their feedback highlights the simulator's benefits, not just in providing practical experience before handling real-life scenarios, but also in offering a risk-free environment to learn and perfect skills.

At VitaSim, we're dedicated to pushing the boundaries of educational technology, ensuring that the next generation of healthcare professionals is equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to succeed. Our X-Ray simulator is just one example of how we're transforming training and education in the healthcare sector.

Stay tuned for more updates, and thank you UCL Radiography Education and students like Tobias and Naja for embracing this new technology🙏🩻🚀⭐️

Back in November 2023, we at VitaSim had the opportunity to participate in the DUDS (Danish Society of Diagnostic Ultrasound) autumn meeting. The event focused on education in ultrasound, where we contributed our insights on how training can be enhanced and made more accessible through VR. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Ole Graumann and DUDS for the invitation 😊 It was a delight to witness how many participants eagerly embraced VR training and appreciated having this technology at their disposal. #education #vr #training #learning #healthcare #healthcareworkers
