VR AND DESKTOP RADIATION SAFETY SIMULATION

Radiation Safety and Dosimetry Simulation Software for Healthcare Training 

Radiation safety and dosimetry simulation software allows healthcare professionals to practise safe use of ionizing radiation in a controlled virtual environment. Users can visualise radiation exposure, adjust shielding, and understand how positioning and technique affect dose without risk to patients or staff. 

This supports safer clinical practice in interventional radiology, hybrid operating theatres, and fluoroscopy-guided procedures where understanding radiation exposure is critical for both patient and staff safety. 

Peer-reviewed studies using the Virtual Medical Coaching platform demonstrate improved learner engagement, increased confidence, and measurable improvements in understanding radiation exposure, shielding, and safe clinical practice.

How Radiation Safety Simulation Improves Training

Radiation safety simulation enables healthcare professionals to understand how radiation behaves in clinical environments such as interventional radiology suites and hybrid operating theatres. Users can visualise radiation scatter, adjust shielding, and observe real-time changes in radiation dose based on positioning and exposure settings. 

  • Visualise radiation scatter and exposure levels in real time
  • Practise shielding and positioning strategies
  • Apply ALARA principles in real clinical scenarios 
  • Reduce occupational radiation exposure risk

Traditional radiation safety training does not allow users to see radiation exposure in real time, whereas simulation provides immediate visual and measurable feedback on dose and risk.

Our VR radiation safety simulation software provides real-time visual and measurable feedback on radiation exposure, enabling safer clinical decision-making.

Radiation Safety Simulation FAQs

What is radiation safety training?

Radiation safety training teaches healthcare professionals how to minimise radiation exposure by applying safe positioning, effective shielding, and optimisation of exposure parameters during medical procedures. 

What is radiation safety in healthcare?

Radiation safety in healthcare involves managing and minimising radiation exposure to patients and staff through safe positioning, appropriate use of shielding, optimisation of exposure parameters, and an understanding of how radiation behaves in clinical environments. It includes the ALARA principle (As Low As Reasonably Achievable), but extends beyond it to encompass practical decision-making, workflow, and real-time awareness of radiation exposure during procedures. 

Who uses radiation safety simulation software?

Radiographers, interventional radiologists, theatre nurses, and operating theatre staff use simulation software to improve radiation safety practices. 

How does radiation safety simulation improve training?

Radiation safety simulation allows users to visualise radiation exposure, practise shielding, and understand how positioning and technique affect dose in a safe, controlled environment. The platform provides live dose feedback as variables change, including frame rate, dose level, tube position, patient body mass, and shielding placement, helping users understand the real-time impact of their decisions on radiation exposure. 

Evidence Supporting Radiation Safety Simulation 

Radiation safety simulation using the Virtual Medical Coaching platform is supported by multiple peer-reviewed studies demonstrating improved learner engagement, increased confidence, and measurable improvements in understanding radiation exposure, shielding, and safe clinical practice. 

These studies show that immersive simulation can improve both knowledge retention and practical decision-making in radiation safety training.

TRANFORMING AND UPSCALING RADIATION TRAINING

More than 3.6 billion X-ray exams are being performed every year.

More than 3.6 billion X-ray examinations are performed each year globally. Despite this scale, radiation safety training remains inconsistent across clinical environments.

Clinical staff working in interventional and hybrid operating theatres are exposed to ionising radiation regularly, increasing long-term occupational risk.

Inappropriate use of radiation and insufficient protection further increase this risk. Ongoing radiation safety training is essential to improve both patient safety and staff protection.

RADIATION SAFETY TRAINING IN PRACTICE

Step-by-Step Guidance for Safe Radiation Practice 

Radiation safety requires an understanding of how radiation behaves in real clinical environments. This includes positioning, shielding, equipment setup, and awareness of how exposure changes during procedures.

In our simulation, radiation is both visible and measurable. Users can identify safe and unsafe zones, practise correct positioning, and receive feedback on how their actions affect radiation exposure in real time.

Role-Based Training for Clinical Teams

Our Virtual Reality operating theatre simulation allows an Anesthetist/Anesthesiologist, Interventional Radiologist, Scrub Nurse, Circulating Nurse, Anesthetic Technician, or Radiographer to log in as a role in a busy theatre and depending on their profession, experience tasks which they would be required to do in real life.

Measurable Impact on Radiation Safety

This module provides a measurable return on investment, compared to the current system, of regulating ionizing radiation in medicine by providing a data-driven solution to radiation awareness by training the staff who work with ionizing radiation.

Real-Time Feedback on Radiation Exposure

This module offers the user feedback on their current behavior and how that affects their radiation risk along with the radiation risk of their team allowing radiation safety training to be benchmarked for the first time.

VR and Desktop Access

We offer both VR and Desktop editions. For a more immersive learning experience on-site, learners can hop into Virtual Reality. However, in situations where VR headsets are not available, learners can still practice on their laptops.

Self-Paced Radiation Safety Training

Learners can progress at their own pace with Virtual Reality sessions on radiation emission control and patient positioning. When comfortable, they can attempt self-assessment in simulation and adaptive questions.

Improve Workforce Radiation Awareness

Improve radiation knowledge of your workforce by selecting different use cases of interventional procedures with a range of various roles and examination rooms. Our product offers real-time evaluation of individual radiation absorption.
