Virtual Reality (VR) allows you to experience a virtual space created by a computer as if it were real. Although VR technology has been widely available in the gaming and entertainment field, in recent years, it has been applied in the medical field. At Tokushima University Hospital, we are actively using the VR technology for advanced medical care.
In Special Feature 1, we’d like to introduce the actual practice of VR medicine in each clinical department.
