Large, High Resolution Image Bank

Challenger Fundamentals: Neurology offers full-color image galleries with hundreds high-resolution images. These "zoomable images" allow you to look closely at features of the presentation that are of interest to you. They also can be clipped and inserted in other documents or saved for later use.

Ranging from basic identification of lesion types and dermatologic terminology to complex differentiation (for example, amelanotic melanoma, malignant melanoma, dysplastic nevus and melanoma, and regressive malignant melanoma), Neuro-Challenger presents you with challenging case studies.

Topical Pretest

Running short on time? Not sure where to begin? Challenger Fundamentals: Neurology includes topical pretests to help concentrate your review to the areas you want to study. Spend less time focusing on topics you are familiar with and more time in areas of weakness.

Visual Assets: Image-richness has always been one of the hallmarks of Challenger programs and all courses are designed to deliver "after-study" value by allowing easy access to the imagery and other support media found in Q&A coursework. Our comprehensive courses, not to mention our gold-standard integrated textbooks, come packed with thousands of high-resolution clinical photographs, radiographs, diagnostic illustrations and charts, videos, and much more.

Education in Mind: We also encourage our patrons to make use of the images we supply for private and clinical educational use. We only ask that you cite Challenger Corporation's course as your source. Great for faculty lectures, resident training, and your clinical publications.
