All Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary formats for PC and Mobile

The Fact is that Dorland’s and Stedman's are the two premier medical dictionaries. Both books have occasional errors; each book has terms that the other lacks; and each book has some definitions that are superior to those in the other. But the Dorland’s is more preferable because it has fewer errors in addition to cheaper prices.
The Important thing to know is that the Medical dictionaries are not valid as medical textbooks. However the Dorland’s medical dictionary considered as The "Bible" of medical dictionaries.

Dorland’s Illustrated Medical Dictionary (Standard Version) Standard version refers to 29th edition which published by Saunders in April 15, 2000, and consists of 2088 pages, with ISBN-10: 0721662544, and ISBN-13: 978-0721662541.

PROS:There is not a single desk without its own copy of "Dorland’s”,
Easy-to-read, easy-to-navigate and has a beautiful layout, easy-to-read font, and subtle and effective illustrations, in addition to italicize a genus and/or species, and even identifying which IS a genus and/or species.
Useful for corroborating some facts and getting alternative meanings of words,
The PDA feature is good and the access to the internet version of Dorland’s is an incredible time saver.

CONS:Not recommended to healthcare and medical student as the only resource of medical terminology due to:
Pronunciations are often lacking (e.g., for the cranial foramina and skeletal muscles), the illustrations are meager and inferior to Stedman's
Many terms are missing. Dorland’s doesn't even define first-, second-, and third-degree burns, for example, and the levator labii superioris muscle and levator labii superioris alaeque nasi are completely missing from both the body of the dictionary and the appendix of muscle tables. Such omissions reflect either inexcusable carelessness or inexplicable editorial caprice.
The illustrations and pictures may be a little pale but this problem is solved by the next edition and became more colorful.
Relatively heavy weight “like a 10Ib book”: make it is not a friend when traveling.

22 Taber's cyclopedic medical dictionary reviews

Medicine college courses and Scientific Medical Courses contain the medical words and scientific vocabulary that considered a difficult obstacle for learners of Medical Sciences.
There is a need to use a medical terminology dictionary as fast way to search idioms and terms rather than know additional information as the large expansion of medical science.
Here are reviews of most used medical terminology books for beginners.

Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary is an encyclopedic medical dictionary published by F.A. Davis Company since 1940 by Clarence Wilbur Taber.
Taber's is a recommended medical reference book for libraries and attorneys.
It is available in print, online, and in multiple mobile device formats.
The 21st edition contains more than 60,000 terms and 1,000 images
The 22nd edition contains detailed definitions for more than 65,000 medical terms. Digital features include 32,000 audio pronunciations, 1,200 full-color images, and 120 instructional videos.

My review of Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionaries:Not good for medical students, as the search results appear dispersed, and therefore a lot of difficulties for the researcher for scientific vocabulary to identify any meaning or any translation is intended, 

What I mean exactly is clarified by view the screen capture of search results of the medical term “glomerulonephritis”:
The translation comes with many other related medical terms some of them are close to the intended term, while others are so far.

Also Taber's isn't as easy to find translations as the Merriam Webster Medical Dictionary.
This matter is know by medical stuff who are already familiar with medical terminology, but this way of searching for medical terms is not valid ever for medical students who are studying the medicine for the first time and cannot differentiate or distinguish the meanings.

So that many customers know Taber's dictionary as it is not comprehensive and non-informative dictionary, as I reviewed the search and according to many customer reviews.

Available Formats of Taber’s medical dictionary:Taber's Online in Web only format:Access Tabers.com on the web for one year.
Find 65,000 definitions and appendices quickly
Stay current with changing medical terminology
Enhance your knowledge with 1,200+ full-color images & 120 instructional videos
Listen to the correct pronunciation for 32,000 terms
Stay organized with personal bookmarks.

Taber's Book:For offline searching and learning medical terminology
Purchase a hard copy of the Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, 22nd Edition which Features a hard cover with 2,850 pages, 65,000+ entries, 1,200+ illustrations, and thumb-index.

Nursing Central featuring Taber'sIncludes Taber's Medical Dictionary, Davis's Drug Guide, Diseases and Disorders, Laboratory & Diagnostic Tests, and Unbound MEDLINe.

Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary -Thumb-Indexed Version:
Thumb-Indexed Version is the 19th edition (June 1, 2001) with 2439 pages, ISBN-10: 0803606540, ISBN-13: 978-0803606548, published by FA Davis company too.

PROS:1. The version I have is thumb-indexed so it's very convenient.
2. It has a CD-ROM so you can install the dictionary into your computer, copy, cut and paste definitions, or just read them while you are typing your transcript.
3. After the word definition, it gives you the origins of the word. This is very helpful since a foundation in medical terminology is essential for a medical transcriptionst.
4. The CD allows you to search medical phrases and will give you all the entries where the phrases may be found. Example: If you type in "column of Bertin", it will give you entries where "column" and "Bertin" appear. By clicking on the entries, you will find that this is not listed under C but under B: "Bertin, column of".

However Taber’s dictionary contains detailed illustrations, full-color images and tables are cross-referenced from their entries and bring the outstanding definitions to life. With 56,000 terms in all specialties, also it has enough information to be useful for even the most learned medical professional and is still simple enough to use to be accessible to any mildly educated member of society. 

Contains Easy-to-Use Entry Format filled with Vocabulary, Alphabetization, Eponyms (including biographies of those after whom things were named), Definitions, Pronunciations, Singular/Plural Forms, Etymologies, Abbreviations, Encyclopedic Entries, Illustrations, Tables, Adjective Forms of Words, Cautionary Statements, helpful Synonyms, Cross-References, Appendices collect medical terminology prefixes, suffixes, and combining forms as well as lots of various classification schemes, also Taber’s dictionary contains Nursing Diagnoses Appendix

CONS:1. The CD-ROM should be in your drive while you are using it on your PC desktop.
2. Dictionary sometimes doesn't pop up when you want it to while you are typing a document, even when the CD is inside the drive. Sometimes it asks you to go online. I haven't mastered exactly why it does this because at other times, it will immediately come up.
3. Biggest con: some words aren't there at all. Etoposide is an example. The seventh cranial nerve (facial) isn't listed under "facial nerve" or "seventh cranial nerve". This is funny because all the other cranial nerves are listed under 2 entries each: e.g., "first cranial nerve" lists the olfactory nerve and its definition and description; under "olfactory nerve" you will see it referred to as a cranial nerve. Cranial nerves I-XII are listed as such except for the seventh. Normocephalic is another term that doesn't appear, but is commonly heard on trancription. These are the words I can remember not being there because they are the ones that I looked up most recently to make sure I had the correct spelling (in the case of normocephalic, most new transcriptionists would transcribe it as normal cephalic; if the doctor eats his words while dictating, you wouldn't even know the difference). There have been others that I had to look up in other medical dictionaries or word books.
If you are a medical student or medical transcriptionist, you need other resources besides this book.

Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (Non-thumb-indexed Version) Non-Indexed Version is the 22nd edition (February 13, 2013) of 2880 pages, ISBN-10: 0803629788, ISBN-13: 978-0803629783, and published by F.A. Davis Company.
PROS:

Taber’s 22nd has 200 pages longer.
Latest references and terminology by 2013.
Better quality photographs.
It’s Features much more thoroughness of the explanations.
It may be a great resource for nursing students as they do not need further study for medicine. However the Taber’s medical dictionaries contain disease definition, symptoms, NANDA's, and interventions, the whole nursing package as I know.
It is useful when a family member or friend has a question about the body, illness or medical procedures. It has been very helpful, and clarified a lot of misinformation out there.
Taber’s medical dictionary is suitable resource for who studying medical coding, especially one encounters a lot of terminology that causes confusion. Tabor's is an excellent resource that contains definitions (including prefixes and suffixes) and illustrations in a very compact format.
Cons:
While it has many new illustration but still many of them not pleasant to look at.
While it considered a great medical resource for family usage, it is not a valid resource for medical students as I mentioned in the beginning of the post.
However, it may be used as a supplemental textbook for an undergraduate level medical terms class and is a good reference source.

Previously, I reviewed the Stedman's medical terminology dictionary, here.
