This course gives detail knowledge on MRI machine, image formation and data collection process in simplified way. Thank you very much to coursera team and KAIST university

It is very useful to start with MRI, and I am really happy that it exists. However, it is a pity that a lot of questions have typos, and sometimes it is completely impossible to answer the question using just information from the lectures.

Excellent Course, I found it very comprehensive and useful. Sometimes difficult expecially the math parts considering my background as a Neuroradiologist. Thank You.

Won't recommend this course to anyone who wants to understand a convulated topic like MRI. The communication skill of the Instructor was poor due to his speaking. Sometimes, I couldn't understand what words he had been uttering. The quizzes also had wrong answers so you will need to do trial and error. Although I am from engineering background, I had a foundation to Fourier transform and mathematical operations like this. Yet, i failed to get the essence of this. So, assume if you are not from engineering background, then, best of luck!

I definitely recommend this course for people who are new to MRI. I am from a pure computer science background, with Masters in Machine Learning working for a medical imaging AI company. I started with Dwight Nishimura's book, but the mathematical concepts were complicated and I could not get a proper head start. This course introduced all the core concepts beautifully and coherently. With the skills I obtained from this course, I can now understand and appreciate the basic terminologies used in MR literature. Now I am going to try reading Nishimura's book and also watch Stanford RAD229 videos (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJgAoFeFMKQ-f1XVPrFBslQ) and I am confident that I will be able to understand the advanced concepts discussed there. One minor problem in this course, as others mentioned, is the instructor's accent; but it is not a deal breaker. After a few videos I got used to the accent.

Basically, the lecturer is just reading off the entire slide, with little or no further explanation. No lecture notes are given at all. The voice isn't very clear too. But the overall curriculum is quite rigorous and difficult, and some mathematics foundations in Fourier transform are required.

A waste of time. The instructor does not seem to understand some of the concepts he is teaching. He is inconsistent in using notation and terminology. The test ask questions about topics not covered in the lectures.

One will be more confused about MRI after taking the course rather than learning anything.

Excellent course. I used to work in MRI in late 80s so I wanted to review the material and update my knowledge. The course served my purpose.

Thank you Prof. Sung-Hong Park!

Excellent course, clear explanation and in details on MRI Fundamentals.

thank you for the great information you have gifted

Very hlpful and awsome course

Overall the course is very good. Cover all the basics concepts in decent detail. I can surely say that i have more knowledge of how an MRI works than before i started the course. Accent sometimes makes it hard to understand what is being said and the subtitles also don't make much sense. I found that Extra material was not given to understand more about the subject. A book or links for further exploration would have been better.

Good MRI course on MRI fundamentals. Beware it has relatively high emphasis on mathematical formulas. Would love to have a 2nd course like this with more emphasis on clinically used sequences and common MR artifacts.

Fair enough, but may be difficult for someone with weak physics & Maths ... Strange Physics and Formulae ahead !!!!

The instructor was difficult to follow. More analogies are needed to explain the complex concepts in this course.

Deals more with physics part of MRI scans than the biology part.

Extremely poor speaking skills, grammatical errors make the course draining. Very technical subject, made worse by the speaker

Using animations would've been most educative, because sometimes the concepts are very abstract and hard to imagine.

Very difficult to understand Mr. Park. Subtitles not helpful.

+ The slides are informative enough to have an overall understanding of the concepts - The slides are too packed with information The videos are just the instructor reading out the content without any additional explanation or clarification Hard to follow the instructor due to language-related issues such as unclear pronunciation, incomplete sentences, and a lack of linkers Some of the concepts are not explained clearly and are assumed to be known in later weeks Inadequate and unclear explanation of the mathematical components by the instructor Except for a few examples, there is a significant lack of real-world examples to highlight the differences between the techniques and the end result Lack of additional resources for learners to study the concepts and formulas on their own

Please practice conversational english

I recently completed the MRI Fundamentals course on Coursera, and I found it to be an excellent introduction to the world of magnetic resonance imaging. The course was well-structured, providing clear explanations of both the theoretical and practical aspects of MRI technology. Key topics such as magnetic fields, image acquisition, and the physics behind MRI were covered in depth, with engaging visuals and hands-on demonstrations. The instructors were knowledgeable and presented the material in an easy-to-understand manner, making complex concepts more accessible. I also appreciated the interactive elements, such as quizzes and practical exercises, which helped reinforce my learning. Overall, this course is a great resource for anyone interested in MRI, whether you're a student, healthcare professional, or simply curious about medical imaging. Highly recommended!

It is a very good course. It is very much useful to the graduated students those who are opted biophysics as an elective course. The students who are having fundamental knowledge in Fourier Transform and Inverse Fourier Transform really enjoys the course. I am so much thankful the Prof. Park for nice presentation and explaining fundamentals of MRI.

Ideal course for engineering students because some calculus, physics and signal processing theory is needed. I liked the in-lecture questions in the first videos because I could immediately confirm my understanding of the subject. Too bad that they weren't implemented in the rest of the weeks.

I appreciate the course delivered by lecturer Sung-Hong Park, which helped me a lot to build up the critical and fundamental knowledge of radiation and MRI, hope this helps me get into the Bachelor course of radiography at Usyd. Thank you very much
