Due to a change in ownership and structure, the cost of Images.MD is now prohibitive, and we have ended this subscription. To provide other options for finding medical and healthcare images, we have created a new Subject Guide, “Medical Images” . The guide lists library-subscribed resources that provide images and other multimedia, as well as publicly-available image and video collections.

Earlier this week, the NY Times reported that the recently-passed economic stimulus bill will, “for the first time, provide substantial amounts of money for the federal government to compare the effectiveness of different treatments for the same illness.”
The article reflects concerns that the inclusions of issues of cost vs. effectiveness could lead to rationing of healthcare, or that it could “put the government in the middle of the doctor-patient relationship,” but also mentions similar initiatives that have been in place in Great Britain, France and other countries for more than a decade.
