This course was thorough in teaching the basic interpretation of normal radiology images, I have learnt a lot and excited to apply these skills in my field.
ZA
This course summarizes my 4 years degree, a very appropriate approach to each modality.
RK
SOME OF the videos were very helpful but in some it was really difficult to comprehend the particular piece of knowledge the teacher is trying to give. Mahan Mathur out of all gave his best!
BQ
it is a very informative course. There should be advance COURSE AS WELL

one of the best online courses. very educational, easy to follow, and well thought through. many thanks to all who contributed
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!
This is arguably the BEST online Diagnostic Imaging Course available today, and it is FREE! I am so grateful for the wonderful opportunity to enhance my general medical knowledge and practical clinical diagnostic skills.
This course was thorough in teaching the basic interpretation of normal radiology images, I have learnt a lot and excited to apply these skills in my field.
Thank you Coursera and Yale University for granting me the opportunity to have access and be much more knowledgeable through this Course.
I started this course because it said it was free. But halfway through, they suddenly ask for money to get a certificate. That’s not honest. If the course isn’t really free, say it upfront. Don’t waste people’s time and then ask for payment. Very disappointing.
Good material, sometime image is 2D cant descript best
¡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.
Dear Dr. Charles Duncan and Dr. William B. Stewart, Thank you so much. You have a great sense of mind which makes studies so fun and easier. I had a great learning experience under your shelter where you taught with great passion and skill. You have abundant knowledge which made us learn everything in the easiest form.
Este curso me proporcionou tudo que esperei, consegui me aprofundar ainda mais no conhecimento de imagens radiograficas de uma forma que em nenhum outro curso poderia ter feito. Muito completo e complexo!
This was an amazing course. I enjoyed it so much. It is so handy and amazing to learn things so easily. I'm so grateful to learn from this platform.
course was very intresting, i really enjoyed it, thank you very much yale,instructors and coursera.
excellent course really enjoyable
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.
Learning through this platform still is convenient,It is easy to understand,to gain the concept.
I am too happy to finish the course earlier than expected.
I would like to extend my gratitude towards the team for their good course set up.
Thanks.
Thank you Yale University for this opportunity to join this course. Systematically structured lecture videos and notes, ungraded and graded assignments for each module helped me not helped me greatly to improve my knowledge in diagnostic imaging. I am confident that the knowledge I obtained will benefit me greatly when I practice as a doctor in the future. Truly Grateful to all of you.
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.
This is an excellent course from which I have benefited greatly in my field of work. It explains the anatomy of the body and then translates it into different types of imaging, followed by a discussion of the diseases related to each organ. Thank you to everyone who contributed.
I am amazed after having international levels of study with Yale University and its team, Thank you all instructors. Lectures cover all the basics of radiology study. Thank you, Coursera and HEC Pakistan for providing this opportunity to learn from this platform.
