New VisualDX features and usability enhancements

VisualDx now offers several new enhancements:

  • Drug Eruptions with Drug Citations: VisualDx has expanded its disease information to include citations from the literature documenting drug-disease relationships for every diagnosis with an associated medication finding.
  • Sorting of Differential Builder Results: Rankings are now based on importance and commonality/rarity in North America.
  • Associated Medications Disease Search and Text: Drug-induced conditions can now be searched by medication name using the search function in VisualDx. Each diagnosis will now feature an associated medications table that allows users to sort the list by medication name or number of citations in literature.
  • Content Additions: VisualDx has added 35 new diagnoses and 412 new images (22,758 in total).

Ginger Roberts, Library Liaison to the Medical School, says, “Students and new residents tell me they’re glad we have VisualDx, especially because its ease makes it a quick reference, and having a ‘jillion’ images can only help. The MS1s & MS2s say the differentials are great for new learning support.”
