Backstop Gives Small Vet Practices a Second Look at Radiographs
A pay-per-image AI screening tool for canine and feline radiographs, aimed at solo veterinarians and small independent practices.
Field notes
The stated workflow moves from contrast, orientation, and size normalization to GPU-based region detection, confidence calibration, and a structured report containing annotations and plain-language notes. Example outputs distinguish a clean field from a moderate-confidence flag and advise considering board-certified teleradiology rather than treating the result as a diagnosis. Backstop says it is designed for one- to two-doctor clinics and mixed rural practices that may handle only a handful of films per week.
