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.
