The Patterson Teleradiology powered by Vetology AI

  • Since fewer and fewer radiologists are in the field, and even fewer are being trained, we tap into technology to bridge the gap.
  • Fewer radiologists in the industry means AI is clearly the next step.
  • Confirm your preliminary treatment decisions with Vetology AI acting as a second pair of eyes. It’s like getting a second opinion – stat.
  • Improve the client's experience by shortening their wait time for answers.
  • All images are automatically saved to a dedicated cloud.
  • Includes a free positioning validator to ensure best imaging, unlimited DICOM storage and our full-body Image Match research tool to compare your image to thousands of similar cases. Full radiology consultations are also available as well.
  • It’s easy to request a teleradiology consult within the software – just a few additional clicks to submit a case. Our board-certified radiologists can provide a diagnosis and report for canine, feline, equine, bovine, ovine and caprine images.
    • Reports for X-rays, CT scans and ultrasound images are returned in under 24 hours
    • CT cone beam and CT interpretation reports are returned within 48 hours
    • STAT reads are returned within 6 hours, with a 2-hour average return

“I like to send [the AI report] as a little take-home sheet…. [Clients] have that second opinion, as opposed to sending it to a radiologist and charging a stat fee.”

– Dr. Chow, Rusty Ridge Animal Center

"AI is accurate and very helpful in guiding further diagnostic treatment."

Dr. Childs,  AVG UrgentVet Raliegh

“I get an actual report from the artificial intelligence and it’s very professional and tidy and clean. I edit that to my convenience and there you go. It’s in the medical notes.”

Dr. Soto, AVG English Plaza
 
“If you’re on the fence about using Patterson Teleradiology, get off the fence and start using it. I wouldn’t switch to one of the competitors for any reason. Everything you need … comes in one nice, little package with Patterson Teleradiology.”

– Dr. Bendick, Moultrie Animal Clinic

Why AI?

Seth Wallack, DVM, DACVR and CEO of Vetology, developed the artificial intelligence engine that fuels the quick-turn AI reports. Seeing the decrease in the number of radiologists and the increase in the need for radiology, he decided to take action. Knowing AI has been used in human medicine for a while, he created AI for the veterinary industry, making treatment faster, improving the lives of patients and making the work of veterinary medicine easier.

Get fast results with 90+% accuracy rates

Vetology AI reports have a 92% agreement rate with board-certified radiologist overreads. Independent studies confirm the data as well.
 
Wallack uses a scale of agreement vs. accuracy. Because we as humans cannot be 100% accurate, we cannot hold AI to that standard. However, we can report the following agreement data.

Two recent studies reveal interesting information about AI radiology vs. human radiology. Published by the American College of Veterinary Radiology, the two studies are quite different from one another but come to the same conclusion: These artificial intelligence reports are highly reliable and can be more accurate than human radiologists.
