ANTECH™ Launches RapidRead™ Dental, the AI-Powered Radiology Interpretation Tool Revolutionizing Veterinary Dentistry

LOVELAND, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ANTECH, a global veterinary diagnostics, technology and imaging company, today announced the launch of RapidRead Dental, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered radiology interpretation tool, that delivers accurate dental radiograph evaluations in approximately 10 minutes. Developed by Board-Certified Veterinary Dentists using over 55,000 images and 275,000 teeth, the tool offers comprehensive tooth-by-tooth analysis with 98% accuracy.

RapidRead Dental uses ANTECH's advanced AI technology to support veterinarians in making confident dental assessments, improve workflow efficiency, and support client communication. With tooth-by-tooth analysis, veterinarians receive real-time radiograph interpretations while patients are under anesthesia, eliminating delays and guesswork from dental diagnostics.

RapidRead Dental helps veterinarians accurately identify a range of common dental pathologies on intraoral radiographs - supporting more confident interpretations and reducing the risk of missing clinically significant lesions. Tooth-by-tooth analysis guides where treatment is needed. When combined with a complete oral examination and dental charting, dental radiographs with RapidRead Dental help clinicians detect disease earlier and avoid missed opportunities to improve a patient’s quality of life.

Chelsey Martin, DVM of Waipahu Waikele Pet Hospital, commented: “RapidRead Dental radiology service has become a fundamental part of my dental procedures. It provides quick and accurate reports that have not only cut down my anesthetic time but have improved patient care. The generated reports are easy to read and have guided me in making the best decision for my patients, catching abnormalities I would have missed at first glance. This service is amazing, and I would recommend it to anyone performing dental procedures.”

Jimmy Barr, DVM, DACVECC, Chief Medical Officer for Mars Petcare’s Science & Diagnostics division and ANTECH, said: “Most of us didn’t get in-depth dental training in vet school, so it’s no surprise that dentistry can feel overwhelming. Having expert support ‘at your shoulder’ during a procedure isn’t just helpful – it's a game changer. It gives general practitioners the confidence to act on what they see and do what’s best for the patient.”

Key Features of RapidRead Dental include:

• Rapid results with dental radiograph evaluations that assess every tooth, from canines to molars, in approximately 10 minutes
• Enhanced diagnostic value with individual pathologies listed on a tooth-by-tooth basis to improve veterinarian accuracy in the comprehensive detection of dental abnormalities
• Minimize anesthetic time and reduce the need for multiple anesthetic procedures by providing a comprehensive report to allow the veterinarian to more confidently interpret the images and start treatment
• Seamless workflow with a complete annotated report available for doctor review while cleaning, polishing and dental charting is being completed
• Visual aid to enhance communication with annotated radiographs that can be printed for the client and attached to the medical record
