Specializing in radiology requires reading thousands of pages, going through PPT presentations, and looking at piles of black-and-white 2D images.
Existing model of education is ineffective, difficult, boring & time-consuming.
Radiological diagnosis determines treatment. The number of mistakes made by radiologists reach 30% of cases diagnosed (ref). It considerably influences patient prognosis and treatment.
We are bringing VirtuaR – a perfect merger of VR technology and medical expertise elaborated by top-notch radiologists and developers.
Become a confident specialist, clinician’s partner, and expert in the field.
We are providing interactive 3D models, combined with radiology studies, pictures, quizzes, tests – everything you would ever dream of to make learning a life journey.
We have proven that this tool provides much faster learning and at least 3x more effective in comparison to traditional techniques.

Virtual reality is a novel mean to communicate and has potential for supplementing radiology training; communicating with colleagues, referring clinicians, and patients
(Ref.2)
As opposed to textbooks or online learning modules, immersing the learner in a virtual world is associated with a higher level of active learner participation because of increased social, environmental, and personal presence within the learning activity.
(Ref.3)
Over the past few years VR acquired great importance in the educational field . It is considered to be one of the technological trends with the greatest impact within educational contexts
(Ref.4)
This kind of innovation represent the future of radiology education. With the VR technology, we can move beyond rote learning and achieve meaningful learning

I enthusiastically recommend the VR Teaching Tool for the Temporal Bone for any radiologist who deals with this area of the body in their practice. The way the tool presents the 2D and 3D images of the anatomy and pathology of this complex area of the body in such an interactive way creates an exciting learning environment needed for 21st century trainees.

The participants of the course and the radiologists, radiologists in training, ENT surgeons and ENT surgeons in training unanimously admired this teaching system. Therefore I can recommend this fascinating “virtual reality” program to all “schools and Universities” that offer or are involved in the training of temporal bone anatomy and pathology

Temporal bone anatomy and pathology VR teaching tool is an outstanding device which may revolutionize education in the medical field. This tool was designed with stunning accuracy and attention to detail. After commencing the VR program, user, in my opinion, becomes a well-trained professional able to detect and explain anatomy and pathology of temporal bone with confidence and inerrancy.
