Non-Invasive Cancer Detection for Dogs

HT-Vista, the only noninvasive cancer detection tool for lumps and bumps

BY

Most dermal and subcutaneous masses are benign, but when they are not, early detection saves lives Here are the statistics:

1 in 4

dogs develop cancer at some stage of their lives

47%

dogs over the age of 10 succumb to cancer, making it the leading cause of death

1/3

of all tumors in dogs are skin tumors

50%

of dermal and subcutaneous masses are undiagnosed

Early detection saves lives: don't let lumps & bumps go unchecked Wait and See could lead to malignant masses getting overlooked. Scanning all lumps and bumps with HT Vista will prevent your patients from going home with cancer.

Today, there are three options when evaluating lumps and bumps Each has its pros and cons

OPTION 1

OPTION 2

OPTION 3

Palpation Alone

FNA

Biopsy

Pros Non-invasive Cons Risk of overlooked malignant masses

4

Pros Can help determine type of cancer Cons Invasive and sometimes inconclusive

Pros The gold standard Cons Requires anesthesia Long wait time for results Most invasive & expensive

HT Vista will change the game considerably.

HT Vista helps veterinary teams 'rule out' cancer without invasive procedures or 'rule in' malignancy when results indicate.

HT Vista provides a Cancer Risk value with 90% sensitivity and 98% NPV, along with a diagnostic alert when cancer detection specificity exceeds 90%.

The benefits of HT Vista to your patients and your practice

10

Early Detection

Build Stronger Teams

Supports decision-making that reduces the time between diagnosis and treatment.

Ease of use means the veterinary support staff can perform the test and reduce the veterinarian's workload.

Less Stress on Patient

Fosters Growth

Non-invasive, pain-free approach means intrusive diagnostics are necessary only when evidence indicates.

Increase diagnostic and treatment opportunities when you scan regularly, and uncover overlooked malignancies in need of biopsy.

The confidence level of a negative result being a true negative is 98%… in medicine, that’s almost as good as it gets.

How HT Vista Works 40 sec overall scan time Heat Diffusion Imaging A patented non-invasive technology The underlying principle of the HT Vista Heat Diffusion Imaging (HDI) technology, is that benign and malignant tissues display different heat transfer rates. This is due to differences in composition, metabolism, tissue morphology, and vascular network, which affect their thermophysical properties.

This innovative screening modality relies on the unique thermal signals recorded by the device, as the tissue is heated for 10 seconds and left to cool down for 30 seconds. The trained algorithm then processes those signals and delivers a predictive score.

“The HT Vista has proved a really useful bit of kit for our clinic. We are able to assess masses quickly and simply and give owners either immediate peace-of-mind or move forward with investigations knowing there is a good reason for them. Our protocols are set so this is an almost entirely nurse-led process, allowing them to utilise their skillset and creating real efficiency for our clinic.”

Dr Catherine Henstridge MRCVS (AKA 'Cat the Vet')

"The HT Vista is an excellent addition to the primary care vet's tools. The more of us that start using AI tools like this, the more they will learn and become better and better.'

Simon Hayes, MRCVS, Veterinarian, Chief Veterinary Officer, Creature Comforts Vets, UK 15

Case Study

Gold 4.5 yo Cane Corso Gold's owner wanted to take a wait-and-see approach, but was convinced by her veterinarian to do a scan with HT Vista.

CC

Incidental finding of a SC mass during a routine physical examination

PE

Subcutaneous mass on the left front leg, firm, mobile, 5x5 cm, circumscribed

OUTCOME

HEAT DIFFUSION IMAGING (HDI) SCAN

A 40-second scan returned a "High Cancer Risk" value with diagnostic alert of a "Mast Cell Tumor." Further Investigation was recommended.

BASED ON HT VISTA RESULTS

A fine needle aspirate was performed by the veterinarian.

HISTOPATHOLOGY

Results indicated a low-grade Mast Cell Tumor.

Gold underwent a lumpectomy, and returned home healthy after detecting the mast cell tumor early. The pet parent confirmed she would not have opted for surgery without HT Vista!

17

Guss had several tumors… we immediately took the HT Vista and scanned. And we unfortunately found something that needed further investigation. Unbelievably, it was the original lipoma but underneath it was an invading mast-cell tumor.
