Vetscan Imagyst® AI Dermatology was evaluated in 143 dog and 75 cat samples and compared to that of board-certified clinical pathologists.1
- Samples included skin impression smears, ear swabs and skin swabs
- Each sample was classified as positive or negative for inflammatory cells or infectious agents by the consensus of 2 of 3 clinical pathologists
