Radiology Support Built for the Way Veterinarians Work

Radiology Support Built for the Way Veterinarians Work

AI Screenings Add Fast Imaging Analysis to the Veterinary Generalist's Toolkit

Veterinarians have a remarkable and diverse skillset. On any given day, a GP might perform surgery, vaccinate a puppy, help a pet parent manage a complex diabetes case, and perform a dental procedure. No other medical profession asks its practitioners to work across this many disciplines at this level of competence, every single day.

Radiology is one of those disciplines. Board-certified veterinary radiologists spend years in fellowship training after veterinary school, developing expertise in a field that spans thousands of conditions across multiple species and body systems. In general practice, that same breadth of imaging interpretation falls to the veterinarian.

Vetology’s AI screening report was designed with this reality in mind. Not to replace the veterinarian’s judgment, but to add a layer of specialist-level screening that supports the work practicing veterinarians are already doing.

How It Works in Practice

When a practice submits radiographs through Vetology, the AI automatically analyzes every image across our growing list of classifiers covering canine and feline thorax, abdomen, and spine/musculoskeletal conditions. Results arrive in minutes. There is no extra submission, no case selection, and no waiting for a specialist’s availability.

The system has been validated on a foundation of 300,000 board-certified veterinary radiologist-reviewed multi-image cases. These are real patient studies from real veterinary practices, each reviewed by diplomates of the American College of Veterinary Radiology (DACVR) or European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI).

The AI provides a structured analysis that highlights findings across 94+ conditions. Some of these are conditions the veterinarian is already evaluating. Others are incidental findings that benefit from being flagged: subtle lymphadenopathy alongside a cardiac workup, early organ size changes on a GI study, mineralization that warrants monitoring. The veterinarian reviews everything in context and makes every clinical decision.

A Resource for the Whole Practice Team

AI screening benefits more than the doctor reading the images.

For veterinary technicians, AI reports create a learning opportunity built into the daily workflow. Techs who position patients and capture radiographs can see what the AI identified on the images they produced. This builds familiarity with imaging findings over time and adds professional development value to work the team is already doing.

For practice managers and operations leads, the impact shows up in workflow. When more findings are identified during the initial visit, more treatment conversations happen while the client is still in the room. This means smoother scheduling, more complete appointments, and fewer situations where the team needs to coordinate follow-up calls and return visits after the fact.

For front desk staff, the benefit is practical: when cases are more fully resolved on the first visit, there are fewer follow-up calls to coordinate and fewer schedule adjustments to manage. The front desk may not read radiographs, but they feel the difference when the day runs more smoothly.

Confidence and Collaboration

Vetology AI is a screening tool, not a diagnostic replacement. It does not tell the veterinarian what to do. It provides additional information that the DVM incorporates into their clinical picture alongside history, physical exam, and their own radiographic assessment.

Veterinarians who use AI screening consistently describe it as a confidence builder. When the AI confirms their interpretation, it reinforces their treatment plan. When the AI highlights something they had not focused on, it gives them a reason to take a second look. Either way, they have more information available when making their clinical decisions.

That added confidence has a practical impact. Veterinarians who feel well-supported in their imaging interpretation tend to use diagnostic imaging more effectively in discussions with clients, and keep more of their caseload in-house.

Designed for General Practice Economics

Vetology’s unlimited monthly subscription is built for the way general practice operates. There are no per-case fees, no contracts, and we include a PACS for free if you need one. The system integrates with widely used practice management systems and AI scribes including ezyVet, DaySmart Vet, CoVet, Scribblevet, VetRocket with more on the way, and includes free DICOM storage.

For practices that also need board-certified radiologist interpretations, Vetology offers teleradiology with 2-hour STAT and 24-hour routine turnaround from DACVR and ECVDI diplomates, as well as board-certified cardiologists and a board-certified dentist. AI screening and specialist reads work together under one platform.

Specialist-Level Support, Built for Generalists

The breadth of what general practice veterinarians manage every day is extraordinary. Vetology’s role is to make one part of that work a little easier by adding consistent, validated radiology screening to every imaging study the practice performs.

It is the kind of support that lets the whole team do what they do best, with more information and more confidence behind every decision.

Vetology AI Releases Classifier Performance Metrics

Vetology AI Releases Classifier Performance Metrics

Vetology AI Becomes First and Only Veterinary Imaging AI Company to Publicly Release Comprehensive Classifier Performance Metrics

Industry-Leading Transparency Directly Addresses ACVR + ECVDI Concerns, Invites Independent Studies

]JANUARY 12, 2026 — SAN DIEGO, CA — Vetology Innovations today announced the public release of complete performance metrics for all 89+ classifiers across its diagnostic platform, making it the first and only AI company in the veterinary imaging space to provide this level of transparency.

The move is an acknowledgement of the recommendations in the American College of Veterinary Radiology (ACVR) and European College of Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging (ECVDI) position statement that identified “a key challenge” in veterinary AI: “the lack of transparency and validation for AI tools currently available for veterinary diagnostic imaging.”

The joint ACVR – ECVDI statement concluded: “There is currently no commercially available product for diagnostic imaging that meets these standards” [for transparency, validation, and safety].

“We’re changing that,” said Eric Goldman, President of Vetology. “Complete transparency isn’t a competitive advantage we’re protecting, it’s a professional obligation we’re fulfilling.”

What's Now Public

Available on Vetology’s website, the data includes condition-level sensitivity, specificity, and sample sizes across 300,000 test cases covering Vetology’s canine thorax, canine abdomen, feline thorax, feline abdomen, and spine/musculoskeletal condition classifiers.

The data includes both high performers, like the heart failure classifier with 89.5% sensitivity across 10,951 cases, and more challenging applications where AI-generated screening results serve as a decision support tool within a veterinarian-led diagnostic process, requiring professional expertise and domain knowledge to interpret and validate findings.

Why This Matters

For Researchers: Vetology welcomes collaboration with the research community as part of a shared commitment to evidence-based AI in veterinary medicine. We have partnered with institutions such as AMC New York and Tufts University (among others) on peer-reviewed studies.

Building on this foundation, Vetology invites researchers to engage with us on independent validation efforts, access additional performance data, or propose collaborative studies that advance transparency, rigor, and clinically meaningful evaluation.

For Board-Certified Radiologists: Vetology is inviting radiologists to work alongside us in shaping the future of veterinary AI imaging. As these tools become more integrated into clinical workflows, radiologist expertise is essential to helping define the guardrails, best practices, and professional standards that ensure AI supports, rather than distorts, patient care.

Through collaboration around transparent performance data, radiologists can help clarify where AI aligns with real-world clinical needs, where limitations remain, and what benchmarks the profession should expect from all vendors. This partnership is about collectively defining what “good enough” means in practice, strengthening industry-wide transparency, and establishing validation approaches that protect veterinarians and the animals they serve.

For General Practitioners: Vetology views general practitioners as essential partners in the responsible use of AI at the point of care. Transparent, classifier-specific performance data supports informed clinical judgment, by helping veterinarians understand where AI can meaningfully assist, where additional scrutiny is warranted, and how uncertainty should be factored into decision-making.

This shared responsibility encourages appropriate confidence without over-reliance. It reinforces professional judgment while supporting better, more consistent care for patients, and clearer communication with pet owners. Trust your training: AI can inform the veterinarian, but it cannot replace medical insight and domain knowledge.

For Regulatory Bodies: Vetology supports collaboration with regulators in developing thoughtful, evidence-based approaches to AI oversight. Publicly available performance data provides the empirical foundation needed to move beyond one-size-fits-all regulation and toward standards that reflect real differences across conditions, modalities, and clinical use cases. By working together, regulators, clinicians, and developers can help ensure imaging AI governance evolves in a way that protects patients, supports veterinary professionals, and aligns with the nuanced oversight long advocated by leaders such as the ACVR and ECVDI.

Beyond Academic Interest: Clinical Integration That Works

“We’re releasing our performance data so veterinarians can make confident decisions in everyday practice, and so the industry can move forward in establishing clear best practices and gold standards for AI in veterinary imaging,” said Cory Clemmons, Chief Technical Officer. “Transparency is how we build trust today, and a better future for patient care.”

Practical applications include:

    • Risk-stratified triage: High-sensitivity classifiers enable confident rule-outs in screening scenarios, while moderate-sensitivity classifiers signal when additional imaging or specialist consultation adds value.
    • Workflow optimization: High-confidence AI results help identify straightforward cases that may not require additional specialist review, while borderline or complex findings signal when radiologist consultation adds meaningful diagnostic value, enabling veterinary teams to allocate incremental diagnostic expenditures where they matter most for patient care.

Addressing Good Machine Learning Practice

The joint ACVR – ECVDI position statement emphasizes development “in accordance with good machine learning practices,” with particular focus on transparency, error reporting, and clinical expert involvement.

Vetology’s public metrics directly support these principles by enabling third-party evaluation, benchmarking against radiologist agreement rates, and providing visibility into both false positive and false negative characteristics through publicly reported sensitivity and specificity.

A Call to the Industry

“Every imaging AI company in this space will eventually publish performance data, either voluntarily or when regulators require it,” Goldman said. “We’re choosing to lead because transparency accelerates trust, and trust accelerates adoption of tools that genuinely help patients and practitioners.”

Vetology hopes this action encourages industry-wide adoption of open validation practices and provides a template for the kind of disclosure the ACVR and ECVDI explicitly urged.

What's Next

Vetology will update performance metrics as classifiers are retested, and publish the same comprehensive data for every new classifier launched, with new releases planned monthly. The company welcomes collaboration with academic institutions, regulatory bodies, and practicing veterinarians to refine validation methodologies and establish industry-wide standards.

Behind The Scenes With the Vetology Support Team 

In veterinary medicine, time is short and expectations are high. Clients want answers about their pet’s health quickly, and AI-powered platforms like Vetology can help you deliver. But what happens when you have a question about your AI screening report, need to speak with a human radiologist, or want to train your team to use the platform?

Our client care team is ready to help at a moment’s notice. Clients who regularly interact with the support team tend to get better results from the platform, work more efficiently, and build greater confidence with our AI and teleradiology tools.

Here’s a look at the Vetology support services we provide at no additional cost to help users get the most from our platform.

The Team Behind The Screen

Vetology’s support team is small but mighty. Together, they handle over 14,000 communications each year, including phone calls, emails, scheduled trainings, and now, live on-platform chats.

Our support providers include a blend of veterinary techs, technology, and customer care professionals. With many years of combined experience across multiple disciplines, they’re capable of handling everything from onboarding and software installation to troubleshooting, clinical questions, radiologist follow-ups, and veterinary team coaching.

We’d like to introduce you to two of our key support team members:

Tammie McGill

Tammie McGill

Tammie McGill spent nearly two decades as a human EMT before transitioning into a role as a veterinary assistant. After gaining years of clinical experience, she now uses her strong veterinary technician skills to provide clinical support to Vetology users, which includes answering AI report questions, coordinating discussions with interpreting veterinary radiologists, monitoring radiograph quality, and helping clinical teams troubleshoot imaging techniques to improve safety and optimize outcomes.

Tammie and her fellow veterinary technician, Vivian Paz, also work closely with the radiologists, data scientists, and development teams, offering valuable advice and domain-specific insight.

Sandra Nemis

Sandra Nemis

Sandra Nemis came to Vetology after several years of managing customer care teams, including a technical supervisor role.

She now leads the Vetology support team through client interactions, handles clinic demos, installations, onboarding, training, and day-to-day platform support.

With the help of additional support team members, Aziz Beguliev, Chey Aranzasu, Kath Dato, and our SVP of Information Systems Ruben Venegas, Tammie and Sandra ensure that no question goes unanswered and no case falls through the cracks.

While most have been on the team for more than five years, tenures span from new members to 15 years, reflecting a mix of institutional knowledge and fresh perspectives to help deliver consistently excellent service and fast communication.

From Demo to Diagnostics

When clinics reach out to Vetology through the website, email, or phone, they establish a relationship with our tight-knit client care team from day one.

The onboarding process for new Vetology clients is quick and efficient. After a client completes a short form with clinic information, the Vetology support team creates their internal profile, configures platform access, and schedules an installation and training session.

“We remote into the X-ray computer, add our destination settings to ensure communication, and enable the auto-send feature,” explained Sandra. “When team members take X-rays, they don’t have to do anything extra; the images automatically go to the Vetology platform. Within a few minutes, they have an AI screening report and can submit to a board-certified radiologist, if desired.”

The entire process of installing and configuring the platform and providing initial training to key team members typically takes less than an hour, so you can be up and running fast and avoid downtime in the clinic.

Clinical Coaching and Aftercare

Vetology’s support combines technical help with clinical collaboration. Our two veterinary support specialists have nearly three decades of combined experience. Together, they provide a crucial “aftercare” service for teams using the Vetology platform.

When the team spots an issue with image quality or safety, they provide feedback and coaching. They can offer tips for technicians to hone their radiology skills and how to use positioning aids, something that they may or may not have learned or practiced in school.

“Clinics are very responsive when we reach out,” said Tammie. “I’ve also had doctors call to ask, ‘What else can we do to make this better?’ I’ll talk to anybody in the clinic that has time or is willing to learn more.”

Coaching support helps improve image quality and diagnostic accuracy, reduce retakes, and protect team members from unnecessary radiation exposure.

Contacting Vetology Support

You can contact Vetology’s support team by phone, email, the website, or the live chat feature on the platform.

However you choose to contact the team, you can expect a rapid response. The team is available from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Pacific time, and responds to emails during regular hours within five to 10 minutes. If you have a question after hours, send an email you can expect a response first thing the following morning.

Most importantly, when you contact Vetology’s support team, your questions will be answered by a real person. Our goal is to provide quick help so you get the most from our platform without slowing down your day.

Controlling Costs With Veterinary Teleradiology

Controlling Costs With Veterinary Teleradiology

Veterinary care has advanced rapidly in recent years, but better medicine often comes at a cost. As prices for veterinary services steadily rise, clinics find themselves dealing with higher overhead costs, and clients may weigh the cost of services more heavily than potential outcomes when deciding on a treatment plan for their pet.

Veterinary practices, especially general practice clinics, face pressure to balance budgets against the necessity of high-quality patient care. Veterinary teleradiology is one solution to this dilemma, bringing the expertise of board-certified veterinary radiologists into the GP setting in a cost-effective way.

Here’s how veterinary teleradiology helps reduce costs without compromising care.

Key takeaways:

  • Veterinary teleradiology and AI-powered image analysis improve diagnostic speed and accuracy.
  • Collimating to the area of concern and leveraging AI to pre-screen images provides radiologists with quality images and helps guide questions to the radiologist when a consultation is needed.
  • Modern teleradiology platforms are affordable and equipment-light, which reduces expenses for veterinary hospitals.

Fast and Accurate Diagnoses

We all know what veterinary teleradiology does: it connects veterinary hospitals and clinicians in urgent care and general practices with board-certified veterinary radiologists who interpret digital diagnostic imaging, such as radiographs, dental radiographs, ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI studies. With fast turnaround times – often within a few hours for STAT radiology cases – clinicians can make informed treatment decisions sooner and improve patient outcomes.

When AI-powered radiology screening reports are added to the workflow, the benefits multiply.

Artificial intelligence in veterinary radiology can analyze images and provide instant preliminary radiology reports that help clinical teams confirm findings without escalating a case to a radiologist. This speeds up decision-making and can eliminate the need for additional consults.

Targeted Studies

In many cases, veterinarians can initiate treatment with a focused radiographic study guided by the pet’s clinical history.
By collimating to the region of interest, positioning the patient correctly, and capturing multiple views, clinicians can produce higher-quality images that improve accuracy for both AI interpretation and radiologist reviews.

Hands-free restraint techniques and the use of positioning aids not only ensure safety but also produce sharper, diagnostic-quality images.

Using appropriate exposure settings, sedation when needed, and foam supports to maintain symmetry contributes to consistent, high-quality images that optimize AI radiology analysis and improve radiologist interpretation.

When selecting a veterinary teleradiology provider, look for one that charges per region rather than per image, so you can capture as many diagnostic views as needed without increasing costs. In many cases, a clear AI-powered or radiologist-reviewed report may provide enough information to guide clinical decision-making and avoid additional testing, saving time, cost, and stress for both the patient and the care team.

Board-certified Expertise

Instant access to board-certified veterinary radiologists was once limited to clients and patients of specialty hospitals. However, AI-enabled screening results paired with veterinary teleradiology services can now bring radiologist expertise to general practice clinics. When cases require more detail than an AI read provides, clinicians can easily escalate directly to a board-certified radiologist. This targeted use of human expertise ensures radiologists’ time is reserved for cases where it’s most impactful.

Easy Integration and Storage

Vetology’s veterinary imaging AI subscription includes secure storage of radiology reports and DICOM files, along with free access to an integrated PACS. This centralized image storage keeps prior studies accessible, enabling radiologists and clinicians to compare current images with historical ones for lesion tracking, disease progression monitoring, and treatment evaluation. By maintaining a continuous diagnostic record, practices can reduce the need for repeat imaging and support long-term patient care.

Integration with practice management software or AI Scribe means fewer clicks for your team and faster report turnaround. 

Case Report: Suspicious Gas Pattern

Vomiting pets are a daily occurrence in general practice, and these patients frequently require X-rays to rule out an intestinal obstruction. Abdominal gas and fluid patterns are particularly challenging for many veterinarians, including seasoned veterans, and image interpretation is critical in deciding which of these cases require surgery and which are best managed conservatively.

Take the case of Molly, a 5-year-old Labrador, who presents with acute vomiting. Molly is large, so radiographs are collimated to the upper and lower abdomen in overlapping views. Noting nothing immediately obvious, the clinician reviews the virtual AI radiologist report, which has also analyzed the images.

The AI report highlights an abnormal gas pattern suspicious for a linear obstruction. This immediate feedback prompts the clinician to prioritize Molly’s case, begin supportive care, and discuss the potential need for surgery with the client.

Molly’s owner agrees to a second-opinion teleradiology consultation to confirm the diagnosis before subjecting Molly to major surgery, and the clinician escalates the case to a board-certified veterinary radiologist from within the same platform. Within a few hours, the radiology report confirms a linear foreign body, and Molly goes to surgery. Because Vetology charges by region rather than by the number of images, the doctor can submit all abdominal views without incurring an added cost to the owner.

In Molly’s case, the AI-radiologist screening report provided immediate feedback on X-ray images, preventing delays and enabling the team to allocate appropriate staff time to Molly’s care. Then, the radiologist’s review delivered diagnostic confirmation, giving the clinician and Molly’s parents confidence to move forward with surgery.

Smart Diagnostics Drive Smarter Spending

Vetology helps veterinary practices control costs through per-region pricing and streamlined workflows with AI-first reporting. Whether you run a multi-location urgent care or referral hospital, or a busy general practice clinic, our approach to radiology interpretation helps you deliver high-quality, cost-effective care.
