AI dermal mass imaging

HT Vista is the United Kingdom subsidiary of HT Vet, which is a company aiming to increase early detection of skin cancer in dogs. A new device from HT Vista uses thermal imaging and artificial intelligence (AI) for accurate screening with canine dermal and subcutaneous masses and would determine whether a mass is benign or needs further investigation of malignancy. Unlike traditional imaging methods, HT Vista assesses disparities in heat transfer rates between masses and adjacent healthy tissues, enhancing the precision of analysis.
