About
Examion X-AI brings artificial intelligence to the veterinary radiology workflow by integrating PicoxIA's diagnostic support technology directly into the EXAMION X-AQS imaging system. Designed for small animal practices, the platform analyses X-ray images of dogs and cats in just 10–20 seconds with a single click, returning a structured, probability-based diagnostic report that practitioners can share with colleagues or send directly to pet owners. The system performs structured screening independent of any pre-entered suspected diagnosis, which helps clinicians identify secondary or unexpected findings that might otherwise be missed. Easy-to-understand probability scores show what percentage of comparable cases in the training data presented a similar finding, giving vets transparent confidence levels for each result. X-AI is available 24/7 — including evenings and weekends — effectively acting as an always-on second opinion. Because it auto-generates reports, it significantly reduces manual documentation time. The module slots into existing EXAMION infrastructure via the X-AI Integrator, requiring no complex setup or retraining of staff. The platform is currently available to practices across the EU (excluding France) and Switzerland, and new users can trial the full feature set free for four weeks. Its scientific validation distinguishes it from competing veterinary AI tools and makes it suitable for practices that need audit-ready, evidence-backed diagnostic support.
Key Features
- Rapid AI Diagnosis: Analyses X-ray images of dogs and cats in 10–20 seconds with a single click, delivering results without manual input or specialist configuration.
- Automated Diagnostic Reports: Automatically generates structured diagnostic reports complete with probability scores that can be shared with colleagues or sent directly to pet owners.
- Suspicion-Independent Screening: Evaluates images without relying on a pre-entered suspected diagnosis, helping practitioners spot secondary findings and conditions they may not have initially considered.
- Seamless X-AQS Integration: Connects to the existing EXAMION X-AQS system via the X-AI Integrator module, requiring no complex installation or retraining of practice staff.
- Scientifically Validated: PicoxIA is the only veterinary AI diagnostic tool evaluated through independent scientific studies, providing evidence-backed confidence in its outputs.
Use Cases
- A small animal veterinarian uses X-AI during consultations to receive an instant AI second opinion on thoracic or skeletal X-rays, supporting on-the-spot clinical decisions.
- A busy veterinary clinic uses automated diagnostic reports generated by X-AI to reduce documentation time and share clear, probability-backed findings with pet owners.
- An out-of-hours emergency vet relies on X-AI's 24/7 availability to analyse radiographs when specialist colleagues are unavailable.
- A practice manager integrates X-AI into the existing EXAMION X-AQS setup to add AI diagnostic capability without replacing any hardware or retraining staff.
- A veterinary radiologist uses X-AI's suspicion-independent screening to catch incidental findings that fall outside the primary area of clinical concern.
Pros
- Extremely Fast Turnaround: 10–20 second analysis time means AI support fits naturally into a busy consultation without disrupting the workflow.
- No Training Required: The one-click interface and automatic report generation mean staff can use the tool immediately without lengthy onboarding.
- Always-On Availability: Accessible 24/7 including outside office hours, effectively providing a second opinion even when specialist colleagues are unavailable.
- Transparent Probability Scores: Probability-based results clearly communicate confidence levels, supporting informed clinical decision-making.
Cons
- Limited Geographic Availability: Currently only available in the EU (excluding France) and Switzerland, excluding a significant portion of potential users.
- Restricted Species Coverage: AI analysis is currently limited to dogs and cats, excluding exotic animals, equine, or other species common in mixed or specialist practices.
- Requires EXAMION Ecosystem: The integration depends on the EXAMION X-AQS platform, meaning practices using other imaging software cannot access X-AI without switching systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
What species does Examion X-AI support?
Currently X-AI supports X-ray analysis for dogs and cats. Equine or exotic animal imaging is not covered by the AI module at this time.
How long does it take to get an AI analysis?
The AI returns results in approximately 10–20 seconds after a single click, with no manual data entry or additional steps required.
Does X-AI replace the veterinarian's diagnosis?
No. X-AI is a diagnostic support tool that provides a second opinion and highlights potential findings. Final clinical diagnosis remains the responsibility of the veterinarian.
Is there a free trial available?
Yes. Examion offers a 4-week free trial of the X-AI software so practices can evaluate it within their existing workflow before committing.
In which countries is X-AI available?
X-AI is currently available in EU member states (excluding France) and Switzerland. Availability in other regions is not confirmed at this time.
