NLM launches MedPix

Posted on February 8, 2016 by Kelli Hines | No Comments

The saying that a picture is worth a thousand words is, if anything, an understatement in the field of medicine. Many topics, including anatomy, diagnostic pathology, and more, simply can’t be described any other way. But it can be very complicated to find medical images that can be used for teaching or to confirm a diagnosis.

To that end, the National Library of Medicine has recently launched MedPix, “a free online Medical Image Database with over 53,000 indexed and curated images, from over 13,000 patients.” Try it out!
