The LSUHSC Libraries have recently acquired access to Images.MD (link removed), an online encyclopedia of medical graphics. Images.MD contains over 50,000 high-quality medical images, each one accompanied by authoritative text from 2,000 of the world's leading medical experts. More than 90 subject collections can be found on the site ranging from allergies to cardiology, from neurology to urology, making this an essential resource for all researchers, students, faculty, and practitioners.

The images can be browsed by Collection or by Specialty. The Advanced Search feature allows searching by keyword, medical specialty, image type, image modality and clinical descriptors. Images include charts, graphs and tables as well as more traditional pictures.

The free registration feature gives you access to your own personalized version of Images.MD, along with the ability to create slide sets, PowerPoint© presentations, and customized CDs. Most images are copyrighted but a handy e-mail link to their permissions department is provided.

Images.MD is a product of Current Medicine (link removed), LLC, a publisher of medical atlases, and the content of Images.MD reflects this.
