The HT Vista device is -

• Handheld
• Painless
• Non-Invasive
• Accurate
• Easy to use

The HT Vista can inform within minutes if a mass is benign or requires further investigation. The device uses Heat Detection Imaging (HDI) technology to observe and analyse the thermal properties of tissue and uses a highly trained AI based algorithm to distinguish between benign and malignant tissue. Trained on thousands of scans, the device has a negative predictive value of 98% and is proving to be extremely useful in accurately screening cutaneous masses.

How does it work?

The HT Vista performs a 42 second scan, whereby it heats the mass rapidly for 10 seconds and then allows it to cool. The images are sent to the cloud where they are analysed within minutes and results are returned directly to the device’s screen, giving immediate, point-of-care results.

• Offers immediate peace of mind if mass is benign
• Reduces need for invasive procedures on benign masses
• If further investigation is needed, this can commence immediately to aid early intervention

Why do you need HT Vista?

Neoplasia is a prevalent occurrence in dogs, particularly in the older population. In fact, it is estimated that 50% of dogs over the age of ten will develop cancer.* And of this population, the skin is identified as the most common location for neoplastic growths.**

Detecting potentially harmful cutaneous masses in dogs poses a significant challenge for pet owners due to the diverse range of presentations. Skin cancer can manifest in various forms, such as scabs, warty lumps, lesions, bumps, or hard masses, exhibiting a spectrum of colours, including black, brown, grey, pink, or red.

Recognising the importance of early detection and intervention in combating neoplasia, HT Vista has been meticulously designed to enable on-the-spot screening of dermal masses. This innovative tool quickly identifies whether a mass is benign or requires further investigation, providing crucial information within minutes.

How does HT Vista benefit my practice?

The HT Vista device complements existing investigative processes such as FNA or biopsies. Key advantages offered by the HT Vista include:

• Non-invasive approach
• Painless procedure
• Rapid, with on-the-spot results
• Owner can remain with dog throughout the scan
• Scan can be performed by vet nurses as well as vets
• Increased number of skin mass cases seen
• Increased profit

 

The HT Vista team will be at London Vet Show on stand C41. Managing Director, Liron Levy-Hirsch will also be presenting on “How not to send your patients home with cancer- screening dermal and subcutaneous masses in dogs.” You can catch his presentation on Thursday 16th November 12.00-12.50pm.
