“…The low precision and quality of such models is one of the key problems limiting their applicability. For example, depictions of various organ vasculatures are very schematic, which might impair future healthcare professionals' comprehension and perception of these structures, as well as the construction of erroneous mental pictures in students' minds (Nayak & Soumya, 2021). This might have been because there is a lack of close coordination between practicing anatomists and model developers.…”

Virtual reality technology has been increasingly used in the field of anatomy education, particularly in response to the COVID‐19 pandemic. Virtual reality in anatomy (VRA) allows the creation of immersive, three‐dimensional environments or experiences that can interact in a seemingly real or physical way. A comprehensive search of electronic databases was conducted to identify relevant studies. The search included studies published between 2020 and June 2023. The use of VRA education has been shown to be effective in improving students' understanding and retention of knowledge, as well as developing practical skills such as surgical techniques. VRA can allow students to visualize and interact with complex structures and systems in a way that is not possible with traditional methods. It can also provide a safe and ethical alternative to cadavers, which may be in short supply or have access restrictions. Additionally, VRA can be used to create customized learning experiences, allowing students to focus on specific areas of anatomy or to repeat certain exercises as needed. However, there are also limitations to the use of VRA education, including cost and the need for specialized equipment and training, as well as concerns about the realism and accuracy of VRA models. To fully utilize the potential of VRA education, it is important for educators to carefully consider the appropriate use of VR and to continuously evaluate its effectiveness. It is important for educators to carefully consider the appropriate use of VRA and to continuously evaluate its effectiveness to fully utilize its potential.
