More than 4,000 common, classical diagnoses as well as clinical text supported by over 40,000 journal references provide critical clinical context to the images, helping users to order and review imaging tests and studies and diagnose patients based on radiological images. Images and topics are searchable by medical specialty and organ system, and users can print or download images and content for easy use in the office, in presentations, or in the classroom.
