Abstract

The integration of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) technologies in healthcare has introduced transformative changes, particularly in the realm of radiology. These technologies are redefining the way nurses collaborate with radiologists, participate in diagnostic imaging, and contribute to patient care. Nurses play an integral role in patient preparation, procedure assistance, and post-imaging care, and the incorporation of AR and VR in radiology offers them new tools to enhance their capabilities. AR and VR technologies help bridge gaps in visualizing complex imaging data, improving procedural accuracy, reducing patient anxiety, and aiding in training and education. This article explores the role of nurses in the era of augmented and virtual reality within radiology, highlighting how these technologies influence their practice, training, and patient interactions.
