What Is VisualDx?
VisualDx is an extensive library of medical images with a variety of skin tones. The library has a Smart search feature to find related images for chief complaints, diagnoses, and drug reactions. This search feature allows a lot of flexibility to search for images and information to suit the need or situation. There is also a Skin of Color filter to search for images of darker skin tones or all skin tones.

You can also browse for images by clicking on a Category, such as one of the Dermatology panes. Then, narrow the differential for all skin types or skin of color.
Use the column on the left side of the screen to Enter various findings, like skin lesion type, location, symptoms, and history.
On the right side of the screen, Adjust information about the patient, including age and gender. When ready, select View this Differential.
Filter your search results based on what order they should be considered in, emergencies, infectious, or drug-induced.
Choose a diagnosis to view a page with a Synopsis of the Condition, as well as images that can be filtered to Skin of Color.
