New canine cancer detection device relies on AI

A new device for detecting canine cancer can screen for dermal and subcutaneous masses using artificial intelligence (AI). The noninvasive Vista iQ technology from HT VET is an advanced version of the company’s HT Vista.

“VISTA iQ reflects our continued commitment to innovation in veterinary diagnostics. We’ve listened to our customers and created a tool that’s faster, smarter, and more intuitive, helping practices to make informed decisions quickly and confidently. This launch represents the next stage in our mission to make early cancer detection accessible, efficient, and noninvasive,” Liron Levy-Hirsch, DVM, managing director for HT VET, said in a news release.

Vista iQ will be exhibited for the first time during the Veterinary Meeting and Expo (VMX) in Orlando, Florida; January 17-21, 2026. The company can be found at booth 2351 in the exposition hall at the Orange County Convention Center.

The original HT Vista device will no longer be available for purchase, following the launch of Vista iQ. However, HT Vista will continue to be supported by the HT VET team, according to the company. HT Vista users have the opportunity to trade in and upgrade their device to the VISTA iQ at any time.

New features aimed at improving usability, speed, and diagnostic efficiency are being introduced with Vista iQ., while also utilizing the same Heat Diffusion Imaging (HDI) technology at its core as HT Vista. The new device’s wireless design makes allows for portability and a seamless connection to tablets and smartphones throughout the hospital, according to HT VET.

The VISTA iQ has also been developed with consideration for clinical workflow. A new ergonomic design and multiuser functionality aim to make it easier for veterinary teams to integrate cancer screening into routine consultations. Upgrades include a redesigned user interface for faster navigation, improved light and vibration indicators for real-time feedback, and built-in precision tools such as a laser grid and accelerometer for accurate measurements. Additionally, a companion VISTA iQ application offers enhanced case documentation features, allowing clinicians to record detailed mass characteristics, case histories, treatment plans, and diagnostics in one place, creating a comprehensive and connected patient record system, according to the company.
