Vetology gives vet schools its AI radiology screening free of charge
Vetology Innovations opened its AI radiology screening subscription to veterinary schools and veterinary technology programs at no charge. The offer covers AI reports for student studies, with a positioning tool called Perfect Shot to follow.
Vetology Innovations, the San Diego company that sells AI radiology screening reports to veterinary practices, opened that subscription to veterinary schools and veterinary technology programs free of charge. Students who submit a study get an AI screening report back, so they can check their positioning and their own read against it.
The offer covers the AI reports only. Teleradiology consultations are not included. Deans, program directors and imaging faculty can sign up through Vetology's contact page.
Vetology opens its AI screening subscription to vet schools
Vetology said its screening runs 94 classifiers across canine and feline thoracic, abdominal and musculoskeletal imaging, built on a foundation of 300,000 multi-image patient cases. Each study a student submits is meant to build three skills: patient positioning, radiograph interpretation and cross-checking a report against the images and the patient's signalment.
The company framed the offer around a shortage of specialists. It cited the AVMA for more than 163 million dogs and cats in U.S. households and for about 1,100 veterinarians holding a board certification in diagnostic imaging, which Vetology put at roughly one for every 150,000 dogs and cats.
"As a radiologist-owned company, we care deeply about the diagnostic imaging needs of busy clinicians," said Eric Goldman, president of Vetology.
A second tool is on the way. Vetology said "Perfect Shot" is designed to point out a missing view or a positioning issue while there is still time to retake the image, and that it will be a free add-on for the schools when it is released. The company will announce availability closer to launch.
Students can also check the vendor's own numbers. Vetology's public classifier performance page, last modified in September, lists each classifier's sensitivity, specificity and case counts. The test sets range from 6,452 to 56,820 radiologist-labeled cases, with a median of 31,309. We covered the earlier version of that page, which listed 89+ classifiers, when Vetology expanded its AI dashboard in April.
Radimal and SignalPET already put AI in front of students
Vetology is not the only imaging AI vendor working the education side. In October 2025, Cornell's College of Veterinary Medicine named Radimal its preferred provider for overflow imaging support. Cornell handles more than 21,000 imaging cases a year, and clinical professor Dr. Meg Thompson uses Radimal's AI reports and heat maps in student case rounds so students can compare them with the faculty read.
In August 2024, SignalPET started a graduate incentive program that gives recent DVM graduates three months of free access to its SignalRAY tool. Both programs reach students at a different point from Vetology's offer. Cornell's is a service contract with a single school. SignalPET's starts after graduation. Vetology's is aimed at programs before students reach a clinic.
Free school access is also a pattern outside imaging. In 2025, Colorado State University's veterinary college received 12 months of full access to CoVet's AI scribing tools for students, interns and faculty, according to dvm360. That is documentation software, not imaging, but the terms are the same: a vendor supplies the tool and the school supplies the students.
Who the free offer reaches and what Vetology plans next
For vet school deans and imaging faculty, the offer adds a tool for teaching positioning and AI interpretation without a budget line. For clinic owners and hiring managers, it could mean more new graduates who have already worked with an AI screening report. Vetology's offer now sits alongside the school and graduate programs run by Radimal and SignalPET.
Vetology did not name a participating school, so the first signups will show how many programs take the subscription. The company said students who learn with the tool will take that judgment into practice as AI screening becomes more common in veterinary imaging.
The next detail to look for is the release date of Perfect Shot.
