MDPIXX is a recently launched portal dedicated to medical media interchange between physicians. You have to be invited to join the community and share your medical images and cases and only registered physicians can invite you. An excerpt from their mission statement:
MDPIXX site allows worldwide physicians to interchange medical images and videos, create clinical cases, discuss and evaluate about them. All for free.
MDPIXX is a secure and private community for physicians. MDPIXX helps physicians to share and contrast clinical opinions about a case, improves medical research and help medical students to learn from experts by having a complete repository of clincial cases with associated media material.
MDPIXX is a closed community for physicians. Only physicians are allowed to post and comment a case. Clinical cases and associated images and videos are public to internet visits. MDPIXX doesn’t store any data about patients just the medical content of a clinical case. Content is responsability of each physicians.
They have more than 60 cases and 300 images now. Check out the collection of cases or the atlas. Below, you can see an example of how they present a medical case:
