The latest innovations in the veterinary sector have led to improved accuracy and efficiency in the processing of clinical X-ray images in animals. Vieworksa company specializing in medical and industrial imaging solutions, has signed an agreement with the collaboration with SK Telecom Company to accelerate the expansion of integrated veterinary diagnostic solutions.

Through this synergy, Vieworks will be able to integrate its "VXvue" image processing software with the "X Caliber" AI diagnostic assistance service for pets, developed by SK Telecom. The collaboration was signed during the Veterinary Meeting & Expo held in Orlando, USA, on January 15. It involves a expansion of the development of diagnostic assistants based on artificial intelligence (AI)This is a key driver of innovation in pet health care.

What are the uses and functions of the VXvue and X Caliber tools? Below, we analyze each of the tools and the advantages of their integration in the area of veterinary diagnostic imaging.

Vieworks VXvue Software: Advanced Medical Image Processing

The "VXvue" software, developed by Vieworks, is a advanced image processing platform designed to improve the quality and accuracy of medical images obtained from medical imaging detectors. X-rays. Its use is widespread both in human medicine and in the veterinary field, providing optimized tools for analysis and diagnosis.

Key features of VXvue

• High-precision image processingImproves the clarity and detail of clinical images using advanced algorithms.
• Intuitive and easy-to-use interfaceEnables medical and veterinary professionals to analyze images quickly and efficiently.
• Compatibility with different X-ray detectorsOffers flexible integration with digital imaging equipment.
• Customized functions for different types of diagnosticsIt is adapted to the area of human and veterinary radiology, both in the area of small animals and equines.

VXvue applications in veterinary medicine

• Diagnostic imaging in petsProvides detection of musculoskeletal and thoracic diseases in dogs and cats.
• Equine radiologyHigh resolution imaging for bone and soft tissue evaluation in horses.
• Real-time analysisMedical imaging: Provides a detailed study of medical images generated on computers and mobile devices.

X Caliber from SK Telecom: AI-assisted veterinary diagnostics

In 2022, SK Telecom launched "X Caliber", an advanced computer-assisted diagnostic imaging system, with the aim of providing artificial intelligence (AI). It is a tool that allows X-ray images of dogs and cats to be analyzed in about 15 seconds. To do this, it uses cloud technology to store and record data, eliminating the need to install a separate server. Its main objective is to provide veterinarians with a quick and accurate tool for the early detection of diseasesThe quality of diagnosis is improved and veterinary care is optimized.

Features of X Caliber

• Rapid disease detectionIdentifies musculoskeletal, thoracic and abdominal abnormalities in dogs and cats in a matter of seconds.
• AI-based analysis: Uses advanced algorithms trained on large volumes of veterinary data.
• Cloud operationIt is easy and fast to implement, as it works in the cloud. Therefore, it does not require additional infrastructure in healthcare centers and clinics.
• Intuitive and accessible interface: It is compatible with a variety of devices and thus allows for a quick diagnostic review.
• Constant updates and improvementsAnother key aspect is that the use of AI facilitates the expansion of the range of diseases detected.

How does X Caliber work?

The X Caliber tool provides a quick diagnosis in a few simple steps:

1. Image captureDigital X-ray detector: A digital X-ray detector is used to capture the medical image of dogs and expenses.
2. Analysis with AI in the cloudThe image is sent to the X Caliber platform, where it is processed by artificial intelligence algorithms.
3. Anomaly detection in 15 secondsThe system analyzes the image and provides quick results with indications of possible pathologies.
4. Viewing on any deviceVeterinarians can review results on computers, tablets or smartphones without the need for additional servers.

Veterinary applications of X Caliber

• Musculoskeletal diseases in dogsDetects bone and joint problems.
• Thoracic pathologies in catsIdentifies pulmonary and cardiac diseases.
• Measurement of heart size (VHS)Allows an accurate analysis of cardiac diseases.
• Detection of abdominal injuriesEvaluates internal organs to identify possible anomalies.

Advantages of VXvue and X Caliber integration

Viewoks' agreement with SK Telecom is aimed at launching a new integrated medical imaging solution that includes X-ray detector, image acquisition software and AI diagnostic support service.. By linking both tools in a single device, it will be possible to analyze clinical X-ray images of dogs and cats, providing abnormal findings for musculoskeletal and thoracic diseases in as little as 15 seconds.

The image post-processingThe use of the information, along with information such as disease location and likelihood of injury, will drastically improve veterinary care. Currently, the diagnostic range of X-Caliber IA is rapidly expanding to include 34 canine and 13 feline pathologies.

Diagnosis of pathologies in dogs and cats

Through this collaboration, both companies will create synergies and expand sales in the fast-growing global pet healthcare market.

At 4D Médica, we implemented X Caliber AI in the veterinary area.

From 4D MedicalIn the field of veterinary medicine, we are committed to medical innovation, artificial intelligence and technological advances in the field of human and veterinary medicine. In the area of veterinary medicine, one of our latest advances is the extension of the capture panel software for our veterinary direct capture X-ray detectorswhere we will include the X Caliber AI.

This is an AI-enabled extension that includes dynamic updates that can be accessed through membership. In this way, through the use of artificial intelligence, it will be possible to obtain a accurate diagnosis in as little as 15 minutes of a total of 34 pathologies in dogs and 13 pathologies in cats.

In addition to rapid and effective diagnostics, the AI software also will offer personalized recommendations to implement the best treatment depending on the pathology and the diagnosis obtained. This will save both time and resources, optimizing veterinary care to the maximum and improving the quality of life of many pets.
