At Tranquility Veterinary Clinic, our mission is to bring the latest advancements in veterinary medicine directly to the pets and families we serve. We are thrilled to announce the addition of the HT Vista, an AI-powered skin cancer screening technology engineered to improve early detection of potentially harmful skin masses in dogs. With nearly 50% of dogs over the age of 10 developing cancer—and one-third of those cases involving the skin—having access to fast and reliable screening can make all the difference in a pet’s health journey.

The HT Vista is a safe, non-invasive device that requires no needles, sedation, or surgical intervention. A licensed veterinarian or trained veterinary technician performs a simple 40-second scan over the mass, and the results are available within just two minutes. This rapid turnaround makes the screening both efficient and accessible, giving pet owners immediate peace of mind or guidance for further diagnostics when necessary.

Using heat diffusion imaging (HDI), the HT Vista gently warms the skin mass by 6°C/42°F before allowing it to cool. Throughout this process, the device monitors how the tissue responds to temperature changes, capturing information about the structure, metabolism, and blood supply within the mass. The advanced AI system then analyzes this thermal signature to determine whether the mass is likely benign or may require additional testing.

Each result provides an HDI score from 1 to 10 and a percentage-based estimate of benign likelihood. For example, a score of 10 indicates a 99% chance the mass is benign, while a score of 4 corresponds with an 89% likelihood. These clear, data-driven insights allow our veterinary team to collaborate with pet owners on next steps, whether that involves monitoring, further diagnostics, or personalized treatment planning.

Tranquility Veterinary Clinic invites dog owners to schedule an appointment if they notice any lumps or bumps on their pets. Our compassionate team will perform the quick scan, review the results, and create a customized care plan designed to support long-term health and wellbeing.
