Three-dimensional (3D) printing has been utilized as a means of producing high-quality simulation models for trainees in procedure-intensive or surgical subspecialties. However, less is known about its role for trainee education within interventional radiology (IR). Thus, the purpose of this review was to assess the state of current literature regarding the use of 3D printed simulation models in IR procedural simulation experiences.
A literature query was conducted through April 2020 for articles discussing three-dimensional printing for simulations in PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, and the Cochrane library databases using key terms relating to 3D printing, radiology, simulation, training, and interventional radiology.
We identified a scarcity of published sources, 4 total articles, that appraised the use of three-dimensional printing for simulation training in IR. While trainee feedback is generally supportive of the use of three-dimensional printing within the field, current applications utilizing 3D printed models are heterogeneous, reflecting a lack of best practices standards in the realm of medical education.
Presently available literature endorses the use of three-dimensional printing within interventional radiology as a teaching tool. Literature documenting the benefits of 3D printed models for IR simulation has the potential to expand within the field, as it offers a straightforward, sustainable, and reproducible means for hands-on training that ought to be standardized.
三维（3D）打印已被用作一种为程序密集型或外科亚专业的学员制作高质量模拟模型的手段。然而，对于其在介入放射学（IR）学员教育中的作用，人们了解较少。因此，本综述的目的是评估当前关于在IR程序模拟体验中使用3D打印模拟模型的文献状况。
截至2020年4月，通过在PubMed、Embase、CINAHL、科学网和Cochrane图书馆数据库中使用与3D打印、放射学、模拟、培训和介入放射学相关的关键词，对讨论三维打印用于模拟的文章进行了文献检索。
我们发现已发表的相关文献稀缺，总共只有4篇文章评估了三维打印在IR模拟训练中的应用。虽然学员反馈总体上支持在该领域使用三维打印，但目前使用3D打印模型的应用是多种多样的，这反映出医学教育领域缺乏最佳实践标准。
现有文献支持在介入放射学中使用三维打印作为教学工具。记录3D打印模型在IR模拟中的益处的文献有可能在该领域得到扩展，因为它为实践培训提供了一种直接、可持续且可重复的方法，这种方法应该标准化。
