Clinical Validation across 83 Radiographic Condition Classifiers

AI Condition Classifier Performance

Veterinary AI Classifier Performance Metrics

83+ Condition Classifiers Built on 300,000+ Expert-Reviewed Veterinary Imaging Cases

Vetology’s AI classifiers have been validated across 83 conditions using over 300,000 cases from real-world veterinary practices. Below you’ll find transparent performance data including sensitivity, specificity, Radiologist Agreement Rates and case counts for every classifier. This deep, real-world dataset helps our AI support veterinarians with reliable screening results at the point of care.

Unlike other veterinary AI imaging platforms, we publish complete performance metrics to help you make informed decisions about diagnostic accuracy and clinical implementation.

While these results offer meaningful insight into expected performance, real-world factors such as image quality, positioning, and patient variability can influence accuracy in clinical settings.

What Makes Our Data Different

Full Transparency

Many veterinary AI companies don't publish classifier-level performance metrics. We believe you deserve to see exactly how our technology performs on every condition we detect.

Species-Specific Classifier Development

Canine and feline conditions present differently. Vetology develops separate, species-specific classifiers rather than one shared model, ensuring more accurate and context-appropriate results for each patient type.

Real-World Testing

All metrics are based on actual clinical cases from veterinary practices, not synthetic datasets or cherry-picked examples. This reflects real-world diagnostic performance.

Understanding Our AI Virtual Radiologist Report Screening Metrics

Why Radiologist Benchmarking Matters

Instead of comparing AI to a theoretical “perfect” standard, Vetology benchmarks performance against the Radiologist Agreement Rates: how often multiple boarded radiologists reach the same interpretation. This provides realistic context for conditions where even experts may disagree.

When sensitivity or specificity approaches or exceeds this rate, it indicates performance comparable to specialist-level interpretation for that finding.

These measures help you understand when AI can reinforce diagnostic confidence and when a case may benefit from further review.

Making Sense of the Metrics

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are Vetology's AI classifiers?
Our classifiers average 70% sensitivity and 73% specificity across all 83 conditions, validated on over 300,000 test cases from real-world veterinary practices. Performance varies by condition – scroll up to see specific metrics for each classifier by species.
What conditions can Vetology's AI detect?

We detect 83 conditions including heart failure (left and right), cardiomegaly, pleural fluid, hepatomegaly, splenomegaly, IVDD, hip dysplasia, and more across canine and feline patients. Our classifiers cover thorax (20 canine, 15 feline), abdomen (25 canine, 14 feline), and spine/musculoskeletal (9 conditions) imaging.

How does Vetology compare to other veterinary imaging AI platforms?
Unlike competitors, we publish complete performance metrics for every classifier. Our transparent data includes sensitivity, specificity, case counts, and Radiologist Agreement Rate, allowing you to make informed decisions about diagnostic accuracy rather than relying on marketing claims alone.
What is Radiologist Agreement Rate (RAR)?

Radiologist Agreement Rate measures how often our AI classifiers agree with board-certified veterinary radiologists on the same cases. This benchmark helps practices understand how AI performance compares to specialist interpretation and provides context for clinical decision-making.

How was this data validated?

All performance metrics are based on a rigorous testing process using over 300,000 real-world veterinary cases.

Each classifier was evaluated independently, with sensitivity, specificity, and case counts calculated from actual clinical imaging studies.

Radiologist Agreement Rates compare AI predictions against board-certified veterinary radiologist interpretations.
