What regulations govern the use of images in the PHIL?

Answer: Images are either "Public Domain" (free use) or "Copyright Protected" (restricted, obtain permission before use)

Most of the images in the collection are in the public domain and are thus free of any copyright restrictions. If you look directly beneath the image you will see a fair use statement that tells you if the image is public domain or copyright protected.
Permission is not required for public domain images, but we do ask that you credit the original institution and contributor, when known, whenever the image is used in any publicly distributed media.
If the image is copyright protected, you will have to contact the content provider to obtain usage permission. PHIL does not have the authority to grant usage for any copyrighted images in the library. If you have difficulty contacting a content provider, we may be able to help, but we cannot act on their behalf.

Once you click on an image, you can view the rights. Most images appear to be licensed under a Creative Commons license. If you have any questions, please contact our librarians.

License: MedPix® images and case materials were contributed by many individuals. They are organized, reviewed, approved, and curated free of charge for your personal use and for local teaching at your institution - including distribution of handouts and syllabi.

For anything other than personal use, you should respect the original contributor and contact them for additional permission requests.

Reuse of Graphics
Graphics (photos, illustrations) used in National Cancer Institute (NCI) information products are a mix of copyrighted and copyright-free materials. If you want to reuse a graphic independently of the original NCI product, please follow this guidance:

Graphics created and owned by private-sector designers will be credited to individuals or companies. Permission to reuse these copyrighted graphics must be negotiated directly with the creators, and not NCI. If you’re not sure who the creator is, email us at NCIinfo@nih.gov.
Graphics explicitly credited to NCI are copyright-free and may be used without our permission. Please credit the National Cancer Institute as the source. Visit NCI Visuals Online to find copyright-free images you may download and use.
