چکیده
Methods Recruitment Emergency, internal medicine, family medicine and dermatologist physicians were recruited by telephone, mail and e-mail. A total of 140 physicians were contacted. 50 physicians participated. Abstract Searchable image databases can provide access to medical photographs, but until now they have not been designed to support the diagnostic evaluation. VisualDx is a JAVA based decision support application focusing on visually diagnosable diseases. Generalist physicians and dermatologists participated in a randomized trial of the software tool in comparison to text based resources. Accuracy of differential diagnosis was found to be significantly higher among non-dermatologist physicians using the software intervention in comparison to standard textbooks.
