Many pet owners would likely agree with Ms. Slade, who recently came dangerously close to losing her friend to aggressive cancer and believes artificial intelligence (AI) was a major factor in her recovery.
“Her nose was runny. I brought her here because I believed she could have a cold, but as it started to bleed, I knew I needed to get help,” she added.
The veterinary clinic near the Cambridgeshire/Hertfordshire border is one of an increasing number of establishments that employ AI to expedite the diagnosis of animal diseases.
Royston resident Ms. Slade stated: “I’m confident the technology saved her life.Clinical director of the center Dr. David White thinks that the technology improves the accuracy of the diagnosis as well.
“Yesterday I saw a dog with a nasty tumour,” remarked the man.
“I would have needed to remove the tumor and probably a portion of the dog’s toe if AI hadn’t shown me that it was a benign tumor that would heal on its own, sparing me the worry and expense of surgery.
In the past, there was a lot of trial and error involved: “We’ll try this treatment and we’ll scratch our heads again if it doesn’t work.”
