Vetology – New Release: AI-driven Radiology Reports for the Feline Abdomen

by Sommer Aweidah | Oct 2, 2024 | News

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

SAN DIEGO, CA – October 2, 2024 – Vetology Innovations, LLC proudly announces a significant enhancement to its veterinary artificial intelligence (AI) radiology platform. This latest update automates the analysis of feline abdominal radiographs, improving the quality and efficiency of diagnostic workflows for veterinary professionals.

Dr. Seth Wallack, DACVR, Founder of Vetology, is enthusiastic about this release:

“This marks a pivotal moment for Vetology. Our virtual radiologist AI journey through the canine thorax, canine abdomen, and feline thorax has culminated in what we believe to be another great radiology AI screening evaluation release: the Vetology Feline Abdomen. We hope you agree that the feline abdomen screening evaluation will be a great first step in evaluating your feline patients and will complement our excellent teleradiology service. A BIG thank you goes out to the entire Vetology team who spent too many sleepless nights and long weekends enriching the depth and clarity of our feline abdomen AI reports. The entire Vetology team is committed to patient care as a core value, central to all Vetology’s services and innovations.”

The new AI-driven feature goes beyond automation by delivering richer, more detailed conclusions formatted in the style of a boarded radiologist’s report. This enhancement provides actionable insights drawn from its screening results, including suggested next steps and differential diagnoses when applicable.

Eric Goldman, President of Vetology, emphasized the impact of this development:

“At Vetology, we deeply value our partnerships with veterinary teams. This new update leverages over a decade of our own teleradiology data to understand the areas where an artificial intelligence screening report can benefit veterinarians the most. I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to assist our customers in delivering excellent service to their patients!” He went on to say: “I would like to extend my thanks to the entire Vetology Team for their passion and dedication to delivering a quality offering that is focused on our core principles of improving animal health.”

Dr. Andrew Fox, Chief Medical Officer, affirmed that:

“Looking ahead, Vetology will extend these advancements to canine abdominal classifiers, ensuring a consistent experience across both species.” He added: “Our careful expansion of the product suite demonstrates our strong dedication to patient safety. As a crucial element in this ongoing commitment, our team actively seeks and places real value in rigorous academic peer reviews.”

Cory Clemmons, Chief Technology Officer, emphasized the role of integrating input from radiogogists in the approach behind the release:

“We are excited to extend our platform to support both feline and canine abdominal radiographs. The integration of detailed, context-rich conclusions will transform how veterinarians incorporate these reports into their clinical approach. We are proud of the efforts invested to enable our AI to offer appropriate, relevant guidance, in support of informed and confident decision-making.”

Vetology AI subscribers can now access the new Feline Abdomen AI Radiology Reports as part of their existing subscription, which also includes coverage for Canine Thorax, Canine Abdomen, and Feline Thorax. Vetology offers unlimited reports for a low monthly fee to help veterinary teams expedite their diagnostic workflows, allowing more time to focus on the patient and reduce diagnostic costs for the owner.

In addition to the continued effort related to developing AI classifiers for the complete companion animal, Vetology remains committed to providing boarded radiologist reports for conditions and cases not covered by our AI solutions. This dual approach ensures that veterinary practices receive the benefits of advanced AI technology with expert human analysis.

Artificial Intelligence in Veterinary Practices: Workflows and More

by Sommer Aweidah | Jul 23, 2024 | AI Software

This article examines how artificial intelligence (AI) transforms veterinary practices by enhancing diagnostic workflows, supporting clinical decision-making, and improving patient care. It highlights the integration of AI tools, such as Vetology’s AI Radiology Reports, into various clinical settings, including emergency, general, and low-cost practices emphasizing the value of AI in providing rapid, consistent analyses, reducing clinician workload and fostering confidence in diagnostic decisions. Read more about how:

AI assists in confirming diagnoses swiftly, especially in emergency settings.

AI tools enhance diagnostic value in cost-effective practices.
They provide reassurance for new graduates handling complex cases.

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.
