N2 - Purpose: To assess the face and content validity of a novel, full physics, full procedural, virtual reality simulation housed in a hybrid procedure suite. Methods and Materials: After completing 60 minutes of hands-on training in uterine artery embolization and coronary angioplasty, 24 radiologists and 18 cardiologists with mean 10 years of endovascular experience assessed the functionality of a comprehensive hybrid procedure suite simulation (Orcamp; Orzone, Gothenburg, Sweden). Results: C-arm and operating table functionality and realism were reliably (α = 0.0.89-0.92) rated highly (80/100). Performance realism of the catheter, guide wire, fluoroscopy image, electrocardiogram, and vital signs readout also reliably and statistically significantly predicted subjects' overall positive assessment (mean = 87/100) of the simulation experience in a multiple regression model (α =.83; r = 0.85 and r2 = 0.67; P <.0001). Conclusions: This study reports a quantitative evaluation of a comprehensive simulation of an authentic procedure suite for image-guided intravascular procedures. This new facility affords the opportunity for trainers to provide higher fidelity training of operative technical, procedural, and management skills in the realistic context of a complete procedure suite with all its complexities and potential distractions.
