We’ve all been there… you are putting together a presentation and need to find some poignant images to really drive your message home. Or you are working on a paper/poster where some relevant images would help it to look more engaging and polished. The following are two tips to learn that can up your image searching game.

1. Run a search in Google Images for radiation therapy. Below the search box, click on Search Tools -> Usage Rights -> Labeled for reuse. This will display only those images that are labeled as copyright-free by the creator, have a Creative Commons license, or derive from a federal source/agency.
2. Retrieve only government/federally-derived images by searching Google Images using the domain-specific tag: “radiation therapy” site:.gov. The site:.gov portion tells Google to only search website domains ending in .gov for the phrase “radiation therapy”. (Just replace “radiation therapy” with any word of phrase related to your topic for a personalized experience).
