NIDDK Website Offers New Resources
Interactive Health Education Tools and Image Library Now Live
Would you like to watch a video of a live donor kidney transplant on your computer? Or maybe you’re interested in taking an interactive, online tutorial about kidney stones. 
Another new section of the NIDDK website is the Image Library, an online, searchable database of original full-color and black-and-white illustrations produced by the
National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse and other NIDDK information clearinghouses.
With a new, interactive section of the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) website, you can do those things and much more.
- Test your health knowledge with online quizzes.
- Download digital recordings of radio broadcasts from the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
- Listen to audio files from NIH Research Radio.
- Monitor your health using online diet and exercise tools.
These tools and resources from the NIH and the National Library of Medicine about kidney and urologic diseases are compiled into one section of the NIDDK website for ease in finding and accessing all that is available. They are available at www.kidney.niddk.nih.gov/resources/HealthTools.
Interactive tools are also available for diabetes and digestive diseases at www.diabetes.niddk.nih.gov/resources/HealthTools and www.digestive.niddk.nih.gov/resources/HealthTools, respectively.
Image Library Live
Another new section of the NIDDK website is the Image Library, an online, searchable database of original full-color and black-and-white illustrations produced by the National Kidney and Urologic Diseases Information Clearinghouse and other NIDDK information clearinghouses. The library organizes the drawings into instructional, anatomical/medical, and lifestyle/activity categories. These illustrations are available copyright-free to the public at no cost, although the NIDDK should be credited as the source of each downloaded illustration. The illustrations, which you can find at www.catalog.niddk.nih.gov/ImageLibrary, come in high, medium, and low resolution.
