SAN DIEGO, July 28, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The study, released earlier this year, analyzed 500 consecutive canine thoracic radiographs made after-hours by The Emergency Department at the Animal Medical Center in San Diego, CA. Accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity of the AI-based software compared to radiologist diagnosis were 92.3%, 91.3%, and 92.4%, respectively. These findings supported using AI software screening for thoracic radiographs of dogs with suspected cardiogenic pulmonary edema to assist with short-term decision-making when a radiologist is unavailable. Following this earlier study, a second study was conducted with the Tufts University Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine that showed that the AI algorithm with Vetology was able to determine the presence of pleural effusion with 88.7% accuracy (P< 0.05) in thoracic radiographs in dogs. Both studies can be found on the vetology.ai website.

Key Points:
