Abstract: Objective　To explore the impact and value of the Metaverse 5G remote scanning assistant (RSA) in enhancing the teaching effectiveness of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology courses.Methods　A total of 60 students from two classes of the 2021 Medical Imaging Technology major in the School of Medical Imaging, Shanghai University of Medicine & Health Sciences were selected as the research subjects. Class A (30 students) served as the experimental group and was taught using the 5G RSA auxiliary teaching method, while Class B (30 students) served as the control group and received traditional theoretical teaching method. A questionnaire was used to collect feedback from both groups on teaching effectiveness, and post-course theoretical exam scores were compared. Results　The questionnaire results indicated that across the three teaching modules covering MRI examination techniques for the head and neck, chest and abdomen, and spine and joints of the extremities, the experimental group outperformed the control group in seven aspects : mastery of course content, understanding of clinical practice, improvement of learning interest, cultivation of teamwork, vitality of classroom atmosphere, participation in learning activities, and stimulation of autonomous learning ability, with statistically significant differences (P＜0.05). The theoretical exam scores of the experimental group were also higher than those of the control group [(92.0±3.6) points vs (88.0±6.2) points], with a statistically significant difference (P=0.004).Conclusion　The application of the 5G RSA in MRI technology teaching innovates traditional teaching pattern by bringing advanced MRI equipment into the classroom, breaking time and space limitations, and enabling dynamic immersion teaching that combines theory and practice. This approach effectively enhances students' learning interest and teaching quality, demonstrating broad prospects for future higher education reform.
