NIH Releases New Database of 2.5 Million Images in Biomedical Literature

The National Institutes of Health released a new database of 2.5 million images in biomedical literature today.  The database, called Images, was developed by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) at the National Institutes of Health. According to the NIH, the information is intended for a variety of user groups, including clinicians, researchers, students, educators and patients.
