Accuracy

AI serves as a second set of eyes, flagging subtle issues like tiny fractures or early lung changes.

Speed

Reports can be generated in minutes, helping vets make treatment decisions the same day.

Consistency

Unlike humans, AI doesn’t fatigue – every X-ray gets the same thorough review.

Why AI Matters in Veterinary Radiology

  • Flags subtle abnormalities that could be missed under pressure
  • Generates reports in minutes instead of days

  • Applies the same consistent standards every time, reducing human error

The outcome? Faster answers, more accurate diagnoses, and less stress on staff.

What AI Can Do in Practice

AI is already proving itself in everyday clinic workflows:

  • Image interpretation: Highlights fractures, lung changes, or masses.

  • Triage: Sorts normal vs. abnormal studies so emergencies don’t get stuck in the queue.

  • Measurements: Automatically calculates heart size, bone length, or tumor dimensions.

  • Image enhancement: Cleans up noisy or blurry X-rays for clearer reading.

  • Client reports: Produces annotated images and summaries you can share with pet owners.

It’s not about replacing radiologists, it’s about giving every clinician a reliable “second set of eyes.”

With Keystone PACS, Asteris has made AI adoption seamless. Clinics can send an X-ray to an AI tool like SignalPET directly from Keystone and get annotated results back in minutes. Findings are stored in the patient record, ready to review or share with clients- no extra systems, no re-entry of data.

Think of it as a 24/7 consultant built right into your workflow. It doesn’t replace radiologists, but it does give every vet instant support, speeding up care and improving confidence.

Practical Benefits for Your Clinic

Benefits for Clinics
Adopting AI isn’t about chasing trends – it’s about improving everyday practice:

  • Faster care: Immediate reads support same-day treatment decisions.

  • Greater confidence: Subtle findings are less likely to slip through.

  • Efficiency: Staff spend less time on routine measurements and reports.

  • Client trust: Clear, annotated reports help owners understand and value your care.

  • Cost savings: Lower per-study fees compared to always outsourcing radiology.

 

Things to Keep in Mind
AI works best as a partner in practice, not a replacement:

  • Support tool, not replacement: Final judgment always stays with the vet.

  • Learning curve: Staff may need a short adjustment period, but Keystone’s integration keeps it minimal.

  • Reliability: The more you use it, the more trust builds- think of it as a colleague that gets sharper over time.

AI isn’t a futuristic add-on anymore – it’s already improving the way veterinary teams read, share, and act on radiographs. Integrated into platforms like Asteris Keystone PACS, AI delivers faster answers, greater diagnostic confidence, and more streamlined workflows without disrupting daily routines. By adopting AI now, your clinic invests in both efficiency and better patient care.
