About
Vetel Diagnostics is a veterinary imaging company headquartered in San Luis Obispo, CA, that has been equipping veterinary professionals with precision diagnostic tools since 1999. Their product lineup includes digital radiography systems (such as the BLUE, Enduro Dash, Enduro X, and iLens) and ultrasound solutions, all tailored to specific species including equine, companion animals, and food/dairy animals. At the core of their offering is Intelligent Imaging — an AI-powered image processing engine that works automatically in the background to enhance radiographic image quality, apply smart annotations and markups, and accelerate diagnostic workflows. This allows veterinarians to make more confident treatment decisions without interrupting patient care. Vetel also provides repair and service for any digital radiography system, regardless of original vendor, making them a strong service partner for veterinary practices. Flexible equipment financing, including a first-year-free program, lowers the barrier to adopting advanced imaging technology. The platform is built for veterinary clinics, specialty hospitals, and large animal practices seeking to modernize their diagnostic capabilities. Whether managing a small companion animal clinic or a large equine operation, Vetel offers species-specific hardware configurations paired with software intelligence to improve diagnostic accuracy and clinical efficiency.
