Q&A: Artificial Intelligence

How AI Can Help Practices of All Kinds

Written by Sarah McNeal

Artificial intelligence seems new, because of ChatGPT. And by now, many people have experimented with it either for generating images or illustrations, or to help with writing prompts. But AI has been used in radiology for a while. Patterson Teleradiology powered by Vetology AI is built on thousands of cases, with AI reports returned in under five minutes. It’s ideal for many types of practices to confirm suspicions, act as a second opinion or illustrate for clients what issue their pet is facing. Each case submitted comes with a full report that can be emailed or printed for transparency with clients.

Insight asked Staci Thorne, CVT about how artificial intelligence can help today’s busy practices. Thorne is a certified vet tech with more than 20 years of experience, including emergency clinics.

Can AI Be Trusted?

Short answer, yes!

Longer answer: In the same way that you would trust your CBC or urine sediment analyzer to aid you in your diagnostic process, AI in radiology can be trusted as a useful tool to help confirm your diagnosis. AI is all about data, and as we continue to feed it more and more information, its uses and capabilities become sharper and stronger. The software’s machine learning algorithms have been exposed to thousands and thousands of radiographs over many years and all those data points have helped build the neural networks that make those platforms so powerful.

Q: In which types of clinics does it work best and why?
Vetology has a use case in many clinical settings that I can think of:

  • Are you an ER that needs some diagnostic answers immediately?
    Use AI to confirm that your patient needs treatment within minutes.
  • Are you a general practice that wants to reduce the workload and simplify workflow?
    AI can review every radiograph and determine which ones need to be sent for further evaluation, freeing up your time to focus on other things.
  • Are you a low-cost practice with high standard of care?
    Use AI to evaluate all your radiographs and receive a shareable report back that enhances your diagnostic value and reserves teleradiology costs for those cases that truly need it.
  • Are you a new grad looking for that extra bit of reassurance for difficult-to-read cases?
    Confirm your suspicions with AI.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Massasoit Community College Veterinary Technology Students Collaborate with Vetology on AI Software

BROCKTON, Mass (March 26, 2024) – This spring, the Massasoit Community College Veterinary Technology Program has partnered with Vetology to offer students access to a new veterinary artificial intelligence software: Vetology.ai. Massasoit is the first community college to receive access to this technology.

Vetology introduced their AI software in 2018 as a solution to the increasing demand for veterinary radiologists amidst the limited number of graduating certified radiologists. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology, Vetology’s AI can provide virtual reports, with 90% accuracy, within minutes while patients are still on location.

“We at Vetology.ai are honored to be in a position to extend access to our software to Veterinary Technician students at Massasoit Community College,” said Eric Goldman, Vetology President. “We firmly believe in the synergy of humans and AI, and providing early exposure to our cutting-edge tool equips the next generation with essential skills for their careers while empowering them to shape the future of patient care.”

With Vetology, Massasoit students learn from the software in real time and gain more experience. In return Vetology gains insight from the students on how the program is working and how humans and AI can work better together.

 “The generous partnership with Vetology enables students in the Massasoit Veterinary Technology Program to learn cutting edge technology that is the future of veterinary medicine,” said Roda Motta, Director of the Veterinary Technology Program. “Training better veterinary technicians with better tools for better patient outcomes.”

Massasoit’s Veterinary Technology Program is an AVMA CVTEA accredited program. Students who graduate from this program are eligible to take the Veterinary Technician National Exam (VTNE). In Massachusetts, students are required to graduate from an AVMA CVTEA accredited program and obtain a passing score on the VTNE before they can apply for credentialing through the Massachusetts Veterinary Technician Association.

Massasoit students currently in the Veterinary Technology Imaging course are the first class to have access to the Vetology database. With the program they are learning to improve their positioning skills and reduce the number of radiographs taken.

“The software is very helpful for our field,” said Jenna Hodgson, Vet Tech student, Class of 2025. “The feedback is quick and helps technicians learn what a good radiograph looks like. This is very helpful for students who are learning. It will be very helpful having this experience going into practice.”
