VETERINARY RADIOLOGY · LARGE & SMALL ANIMALS

See clearly.Think clinically.

French specialisation in Veterinary Diagnostic Imaging

The value of radiology lies in recognising what matters—and organising the evidence to support clinical judgment.

LA / EQUINESA / COMPANION ANIMALSRX · US · CT · MRI

A report should do more than describe an image. It should organise the evidence that supports the next clinical decision.

RESEARCH & INNOVATION

AI and 3D imaging projects.

Thoracic AI · Currently in testing

SiliconVet RAD Small Animal

Our AI model is currently being tested for small-animal thoracic imaging. Experimental project; not a validated standalone diagnostic service. Veterinary review is required.

SERVICES

One imaging partner, four complementary capabilities.

02

Advanced & quantitative imaging

3D visualisation, quantitative measurements and structured imaging models for complex cases, research projects and future AI-assisted workflows.

03

Imaging education

Practical courses, clinical case rounds and tailored training in radiography, ultrasound, CT and MRI for veterinary teams and academic partners.

04

CT & MRI consultancy

IMAGING PLATFORM & CASE SUBMISSION

Submit the case once. Choose the level of support.

A structured pathway for radiographs, CT and MRI, with ultrasound images or cine loops accepted for second-opinion review. Clinical history, signalment and the diagnostic question remain central to every submission.

Protected access is arranged for partner clinics after onboarding. Do not send patient files through ordinary email.

DICOM / FILE

Secure case upload

Submit DICOM studies, clinical history and supporting documents through a protected clinic workflow.

Access by onboarding
PACS / DICOMWEB

Clinic PACS connection

A connected pathway for partner hospitals that need recurring image transfer, case tracking and reporting integration.

Integration assessment required
PRODUCT / 01

CORE X-RAY

Clinically focused radiographic interpretation—delivered faster.

Find what matters. Connect it to the patient.

CORE X-Ray provides a complete review of your radiographs while prioritising the findings that matter most for the patient. Findings are correlated with the clinical history and organised into a clear, concise report designed to support the next clinical decision.

  • Complete radiographic review
  • Clinically significant findings prioritised
  • Clinical correlation & focused differentials
  • Clear recommendations for the next step
  • Human radiologist interpretation & validation
