We are often asked to help clinicians find illustrations and photographs of anything from thoracic viscera to nasal polyps to old lithographs of leech therapy. Kindly, the McGoogan Library of Medicine at the University of Nebraska has set up a comprehensive site full of links to image collections freely available on the Internet. Look here to find that elusive illustration to enhance your presentation or just to set yourself straight.
Another fantastic image site, not linked from McGoogan, is Wellcome Images. Wellcome is the largest biomedical research charity in the UK. Their image collection is extensive and includes "themes ranging from medical and social history to contemporary healthcare and biomedical science." Their picture above is of a breast cancer cell.
Be sure to check any copyright, or other, restrictions on the individual image sites. Usually the images are freely available for research or education, but it's best to be sure. Always acknowledge the source if you're publishing them in any format.
