Provide more hands-on training

Providing students with sufficient hands-on practice can be challenging due to several factors, including limited lab access, time constraints, and difficulties in coordinating instructor supervision. VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator increases the availability of practical training opportunities for students by offering unlimited hands-on practice with 40+ standard projections. The X-Ray Simulator improves student engagement and skill retention, while programs see higher pass rates, and better preparation for clinical success.

Hands-on training is a cornerstone of radiography programs

Developing competency in radiographic techniques requires hands-on practice. However, access to physical labs and equipment can be restricted due to scheduling conflicts, limited resources, or the need for instructor supervision. These challenges often mean that students do not receive the level of practice they need to master critical skills for clinical success.

This is where VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator offers an opportunity for more hands-on training.

The virtual solution for more hands-on training

VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator is a virtual energized X-ray lab that recreates the experience of working in a real-world X-ray lab. Access the simulation through two modalities: Virtual Reality (VR), that provides a fully immersive environment using goggles for visuals and controllers for hand interaction, and Desktop, an accessible format available on student or institution computers.

Here’s how VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator provides more opportunities for hands-on training

24/7 availability

With accessible practice opportunities, students can practice at their own convenience and refine their skills until they feel confident, ensuring they are fully prepared for real-world challenges.

More than 40 standard projections (as of software version 1.6) ​

Students can practice performing different standard projections in an interactive environment. This helps them develop essential decision-making skills, and better preparing them for the complexity of clinical rotations.

Virtual simulation training boosts learning outcomes by over 300%

Integrating VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator allows students to engage with realistic cases, bridging the gap between theory and practice by. This hands-on approach not only strengthens understanding but also boosts confidence and skill retention.

VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator in your curriculum

VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator aims to support the education of skilled radiographers of the future with an innovative approach through our two modalities: VR and Desktop.

Both modalities empower students to go beyond textbooks by practicing skills such as tube positioning, patient alignment, and selecting the appropriate technique in a safe and radiation-free environment. 

VR X-Ray Simulator

Allows students to practice radiographic techniques in a fully simulated clinical setting and can be used in classroom lectures to demonstrate techniques interactively.

Desktop X-Ray Simulator

Provides the same core functionalities and is designed with flexibility in mind and can be used in flipped learning or educators can assign specific cases as homework.

Impact on your program

Institutions using VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator to provide more hands-on practice also experience improvements in key areas such as student engagement, skill retention and pass rates. By offering opportunities for more hands-on practice in a virtual environment, students are better prepared for clinical rotations, which positively impacts both their confidence levels and skill retention. As a result, students are more likely to succeed in their programs, leading to the development of highly skilled radiologic technologists of the future.

Discover how VitaSim’s X-Ray Simulator can transform your radiography program and enhance student engagement like never before.
