DermAtlas Help
You can retrieve images by performing a Quick Search using any keyword, diagnosis, or disease category included in the database. The Quick Search option will appear whenever the website is opened.
You can request a more detailed search by opening the Advanced Search option on the left side of the front page. You can select images by diagnosis, disease category, body site, pigmentation, image contributor, patient age, image name, and/or key words. If you wish to limit your search select the bolean word AND. Select or if you want to expand your search. The diagnoses and categories are consistent with the chapter list and index from Pediatric Dermatology (BA Cohen, Harcourt, 1999).
After your selection is submitted, a series of thumbnail images will appear on the left with accompanying database for your perusal. You can maximize images by clicking on the thumbnails of your choice. This will expand the selected image and display all related images as thumbnails at the bottom of the page. If you would like to view the highest quality original image click once on the expanded image. If you would like to see one of the related images, click once on the thumbnail at the bottom of the page.
