Introduction to Medical Imaging
Original price was: $64.99.$17.99Current price is: $17.99.
What you’ll learn
-
Master the fundamentals of medical imaging systems
-
List common uses of x-ray, CT, MRI ultrasound, and photoacoustic imaging
-
Know the primary advantages and disadvantages of each method
-
Understand the comparative costs
-
Look at any medical image and determine if it was created using one methods covered in class
-
Excel in academic, medical, and/or clinical programs requiring this basic knowledge
Introduction to Medical Imaging is both a beginner’s guide and an expert’s cheat sheet to the history, science, math, and economics of medical imaging systems. The course will cover common imaging methods used in hospitals today — i.e., x-ray, CT, MRI, and ultrasound — as well as discuss emerging techniques, such as photoacoustic imaging. The basic principles, instrumentation, and applications of each imaging modality will be presented with interactive lectures and comprehensive quizzes from an enthusiastic and knowledgeable instructor. Assignments will test theoretical knowledge and demonstrate practical applications. The course will take approximately 5 hours to complete. Upon completion, you will command respect from your healthcare provider as a knowledgeable patron of medical imaging procedures.
Who this course is for:
- This course provides a general overview for students not familiar with medical imaging, as well as students who need a refresher.
- Pre-Medical Students
- Medical Students
- Nursing Students
- Grad Students embarking upon imaging research
- Undergraduates thinking about joining an imaging lab
- High School Students (advanced) desiring to connect basic math and science courses to real-world applications
- Healthcare Professionals who want to appear knowledgeable to their patients
- Engineering Professionals and Technicians seeking a general overview of medical imaging systems
- None of the above, but you or someone you know previously had or will have an ultrasound, x-ray, CT, or MRI, and you have a genuine interest in learning what happens to the human body during one or more of these procedures
- Note: This course is not for you if you are an expert in medical imaging, seeking to learn novel imaging theories and/or obtain an exhaustive list of current and potential clinical applications.

Isheanesu Chitsvare –
so far so good
Masudur Rahman –
well described and clear conception
Dave Williams –
Hi, didn’t get enough explanation of the Radon Transform Theta formula. Maybe go through those steps more exhaustively – which is the part that most people will struggle with, I would think. Thanks.

While the course covers an important area that would benefit anyone with an inclination to better understand their medical diagnostics reports, it is lacking in several aspects:
(1) The delivery needs significant refinement (mispronunciations and repetitions);
(2) The course tries to cover too much, as a result, certain topics are skimmed over creating a lot of confusion (better to leave them out and ask readers to take it as a fact than barely dabble into it leaving us with a sense of incompleteness);
(3) Several errors in the scientific content (yes!), particularly, when it comes to the physics of explaining certain concepts;
(4) The focus on Dr. Bell’s own research was significant (almost an academic conference presentation like), when the focus on other established methods (MRI/CT/Ultrasound) should have been way more.
Detailed case studies should have been included with focus on understanding the reports and how different medical conditions reflect on various diagnostics.
I would strongly encourage Dr. Bell to discuss this with her colleagues across disciplines and expertise who I am sure would help refine the content. This is a fantastic course and I am sure, with future iterations, will prove hugely beneficial for the readers. 🙂

Interesting, though basic course.
Martin Conneely –
Very good, explanation nice and simple for me. Well done.
Ertan Teodorescu –
Great introductory course to radiology.
Alexander –
Clear presentation
Raymond Jepson –
It would be nice if the recording had been done on a proper microphone (less background noise) and the narrator had practiced a few times (less pauses in their speech).

First of all, Thank you Dr. Muyinatu, you are very professional. The course is high quality, refreshing, heartful course planning (subtopics were stated in each topic is very surprising) and I feel delightful to learn from you.
Also, I would like to say this is the best course ever for those who will to have a overview for common medical imaging technology. For those who interested, must read the description first and thats quite helpful.
My background for potential learner’s reference:
Job – specialist engineer in Medical imaging (I do project planning for most of the modalities (CT, MRI, PET CT, SPECT, robotic C-arms, DSAs )
Academic – BEng Mechanical engineering, MSc Physics (on-going)
Aaron Kupuoni Mukoya –
Excellent course for my career growth
Simge Ateş –
I hope to see more image comparison and a little bit more information about the machines. Other than that it is sufficient enough for beginner level.
