... the basics were what I needed and the homework was fun
... I liked all the case studies, the safety is a big one, just a huge reminder of what we are risking!
... thought the class covered all basic areas of radiology as it is applied in practice
... i really loved the parts where we look at films and say whats wrong with them and how to correct it. i also loved the case study.
... I really did learn quite a bit in this course, I think the "Troubleshooting image quality" section was really helpful. |
