149: AI Radiology for Vets: How Accurate Are Todays Tools Really? With Dr Steve Joslyn

from The Vet Vault: Fall In Love With Veterinary Science · host Dr. Hubert Hiemstra

We scrutinise one of the most practical yet under‑examined advances in veterinary practice: AI‑based radiology interpretation tools. I sit down with veterinary radiologist and Vedi entrepreneur Dr  Steve Joslyn to unpack the rise of AI-powered radiology tools in general practice. But this isn’t just opinion: Steve reveals the findings from his team’s recent study that put 6 commercially available AI radiology softwares in the spotlight - or up on the light box - to assess whether they deliver on what they promise. From how these systems are trained, to where they shine (and where they fail), this conversation gives a no-nonsense look at what AI can actually do for your diagnostic imaging workflow. What You’ll Learn:How these tools are built: Neural networks, down-sampling, and the truth behind “ground truth”.The data dilemma: Why most AI tools perform best in theory, not in general practice.Where they fall short: From image quality issues to breed bias and external validation gaps.New accuracy data: Insights from Dr Joslyn’s pilot study comparing six commercial AI tools.A decision-making playbook: When to trust AI, when to double-check, and when to avoid it entirely.Ethics and workflow impact: Who’s responsible? What do you tell clients? Can AI triage be trusted?How to stay future-ready: What’s coming next – and how to adapt without compromising care.🎧 Listen now for the tools to ask better questions about AI in your clinic.Find out how we can help you build you in your vet career at ⁠thevetvault.com⁠.Check out our Advanced Surgery Podcast at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠cutabove.supercast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠. Get case support from our team of specialists in our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Specialist Support Space⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠Subscribe to our weekly newsletter⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠for Hubert's favourite clinical and non-clinical learnings from the week.Join us in person for our epic adventure CE events at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Vets On Tour⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.
