Zoetis has unveiled an innovative diagnostic testing platform

Zoetis has unveiled an innovative diagnostic testing platform which will present vets with endoparasite results within nine minutes. To deliver accurate testing rapidly to clinicians, the Vetscan Imagyst, for cats and dogs, utilises a mixture of cloud-based artificial intelligence, image recognition technology and algorithms.

Furthermore, Imagyst automates the faecal examination to identify hookworm, whipworm, roundworm, Coccidia and Giardia.

Vice President Global Diagnostics Medical Affairs, Zoetis, Richard Goldstein, stated: “Parasites are a threat throughout the year, making routine monitoring critical to pet health. With Vetscan Imagyst, the ability to have accurate, fast results at the point of care empowers veterinarians to diagnose and treat in the same visit, increasing compliance and eliminating follow up appointments and callbacks; therefore, enhancing the overall pet owner experience.”
