“…All of the articles we included in this category investigated the use of VR or AR in veterinary medicine. From nine included articles, four articles evaluated the use of VR and AR in clinical fields, such as surgery, gynecology and obstetrics, and anesthesia [ 3 , 40 , 48 , 50 ]. Three articles were related to veterinary anatomy [ 38 , 47 , 51 ], and two articles evaluated the use of new technologies, such as VR and AR, to improve the quality of public health and animal welfare [ 33 , 46 ].…”

“…In a case study, Wilkie et al (2020) [ 50 ] used mixed reality to perform a femoral nerve block in dogs. This study aimed to develop a 3D canine leg model without the use of medical images (CT scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)), develop a mixed-reality application, and report the workflow.…”

“…Different HMDs were used in AR studies in this category. The most famous and frequently used AR HMDs in included articles consisted of Microsoft HoloLens (Microsoft, Washington, DC, USA) [ 43 , 45 , 48 , 50 ] and nVisor ST60 (NVIS, USA) [ 53 ]. An HMD is a device that is worn on the head and contains a display that can be mono- or binocular with speakers.…”

“…We carried out a systematic review to assess the use of VR and AR in veterinary science. Despite the high number of scientific articles in medical science that used these technologies, few studies have been undertaken in veterinary medicine [ 3 , 33 , 38 , 40 , 46 , 47 , 48 , 50 , 51 ]. However, these technologies are new in medical science and a high number of studies are still needed to make a strong conclusion about the use of these methods in human and veterinary medicine [ 32 , 34 , 39 , 40 , 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 , 48 , 50 , 53 ].…”

Virtual reality and augmented reality are new but rapidly expanding topics in medicine. In virtual reality, users are immersed in a three-dimensional environment, whereas in augmented reality, computer-generated images are superimposed on the real world. Despite advances in human medicine, the number of published articles in veterinary medicine is low. These cutting-edge technologies can be used in combination with existing methods in veterinary medicine to achieve diagnostic/therapeutic and educational goals. The purpose of our review was to evaluate studies for their use of virtual reality and augmented reality in veterinary medicine, as well as human medicine with animal trials, to report results and the state of the art. We collected all of the articles we included in our review by screening the Scopus, PubMed, and Web of Science databases. Of the 24 included studies, 11 and 13 articles belonged to virtual reality and augmented reality, respectively. Based on these articles, we determined that using these technologies has a positive impact on the scientific output of students and residents, can reduce training costs, and can be used in training/educational programs. Furthermore, using these tools can promote ethical standards. We reported the absence of standard operation protocols and equipment costs as study limitations.
