In order to rule out cancer safely!
With HT Vista® we present the first non-invasive device to support an early screening of lumps and bumps .
Using powerful Heat Diffusion Imaging (HDI) technology and an Artificial Intelligence algorithm, veterinarians or assistants can rule out cancer in subcutaneous and dermal masses in a matter of minutes.

Cancer is the most common cause of death in dogs.
1/3 of tumors are located on or under the skin. Unfortunately, many lumps or bumps are still not examined in detail today.
Early screening is the most important and effective step in cancer treatment.
Did you know that...
- 40% of masses are not even sampled.
- 20% of cytology samples are non-diagnostic.
- 30% of dogs have more than one mass.
- Many samples need external laboratory.
- More than 80% from 1'000 masses of the study findings with HT Vista were not malignant.
Cancer screening with HT Vista®
HT Vista® is an innovative system that uses a new patented imaging technology and Artificial Intelligence to simplify the early examination of cutaneous and subdermal masses.
With the non-invasive system, more cases can be painlessly screened directly in the veterinary practice to safely rule out cancer on the spot in a few minutes only!

A unique new technology
HT Vista® from HTVet is the first AI-driven non-invasive medical device that allows veterinarians and nurses to rule out cancer in subcutaneous and dermal masses thanks to powerful Heat Diffusion Imaging (HDI) technology.
This innovative patented imaging modality relies on unique thermal signals that differ between normal and malignant tissues, as they are recorded by the device, during a rapid heating and cooling process.
Using artificial intelligence, the algorithm compares the patient's signal with previously learned signals and calculates the probability of malignancy.
The algorithm is constantly being improved through continuous training and the validated results of hundreds of dogs.
On the web page of HTVet you will find the latest international press releases and interviews.

Testimonials
We now use the device to screen every cutaneous or subcutaneous lump that we see in our canine patients prior to obtaining an aspirate. We have seen the greatest impact in patients with multiple, long-standing skin masses where owners can be reluctant to aspirate or biopsy multiple lesions and are more concerned about the risk of GA or sedation. The non-invasive nature of the HT Vista is much more appealing to pet owners and gives a quick result within minutes! In addition, the algorithm and AI is constantly evolving and learning from the samples that are taken and so I am confident the scanner will offer more features in the future!"
Development and manufacturing
HT Vista® was developed together with veterinary oncologists and specialists in innovative imaging techniques and artificial intelligence. The algorithms for analyzing cutaneous and subcutaneous masses are continuously trained and developed further.
The system is developed and manufactured according to medical technology guidelines and is approved for veterinary medicine.
It is imported, controlled and trained by P12 Medical in Switzerland. All regulatory requirements of Switzerland and the EU are fulfilled by the system.
