Great course. One should have a good underlying knowledge of anatomy to then see how these structues are visualized with various modes of imaging. I learned a lot.

This is an excellent course for medical professionals who want to brush up on their knowledge. It was definitely challenging. I did have to go to other sources for additional information to solidify my understanding of the concepts. MRI sequencing was the toughest for me. I would highly recommend this course for practicing physicians like myself.

Thank you team!

¡Este curso ha sido una experiencia increíble! Como estudiante interesado en el campo de la salud y la medicina, "Visualizing the Living Body: Diagnostic Imaging" ha superado todas mis expectativas. Desde el principio, quedé impresionado por la calidad del contenido, la organización del material y la claridad de las explicaciones.

El curso proporciona una visión profunda y detallada de las técnicas de imágenes diagnósticas más avanzadas que se utilizan en medicina. A lo largo del programa, pude comprender cómo se generan y se interpretan las imágenes obtenidas a través de diversas modalidades, como radiografías, tomografías computarizadas (TC), resonancias magnéticas (RM), ecografías y más. La forma en que se presentan los conceptos complejos es muy accesible y facilita el aprendizaje, incluso para aquellos que no tienen un trasfondo médico previo.

Una de las mejores partes del curso es el enfoque práctico. A través de estudios de casos y ejercicios interactivos, tuve la oportunidad de aplicar los conocimientos adquiridos y mejorar mis habilidades de interpretación de imágenes. Esto hizo que el aprendizaje fuera más efectivo y relevante para el mundo real.

Además, quiero destacar la calidad del equipo docente. Los instructores son expertos en el campo y transmiten su pasión por la medicina diagnóstica de manera excepcional. Siempre estuvieron disponibles para responder preguntas y brindar retroalimentación constructiva, lo que aumentó aún más mi comprensión del tema.

Finalmente, el hecho de que el curso sea online fue muy conveniente para mí, ya que pude adaptar mi horario de estudio según mis compromisos personales y profesionales. La plataforma de aprendizaje es fácil de navegar y ofrece múltiples recursos complementarios que enriquecieron mi experiencia educativa.

The course was very good at illustrating how to read the images but it was not clear in explaining the various bones and processes. Also some of the audio was difficult to hear (very low volumn) and two of the plugins did not work at all (I was not able to access any of the slides). I did ask for help but did not receive it.

Still I enjoyed and learned a lot from the course.

This was interesting course! I see those imaging everyday at work (clinical coding specialist) and this course definitely gave me the better insight of images and anatomical knowledge as well. I enjoyed a lot. I appreciate creating and providing this course. The course test was really fun and challenging, can't NOT forget what you just learned.
