What it does

The MeSH Browser provides field-specific lookup of Medical Subject Headings, qualifiers and supplementary concept records.

Search a descriptor when choosing a subject term for a literature query. Exact-match and substring options serve different tasks, while field controls distinguish a heading from a registry number or scope note. This is useful for checking terminology before using it in a biomedical search strategy.
