AI-coached feedback

CALIPER Lab - Vertebral Heart Score Measurement

A 7-year-old Labrador Retriever presents for a routine wellness exam. On the right lateral thoracic radiograph, you use the CALIPER tool to measure the long axis of the cardiac silhouette from the ventral border of the carina to the cardiac apex (5.2 vertebral bodies) and the short axis perpendicular at the widest point (4.1 vertebral bodies). VHS = 9.3v, which falls within the normal reference range for this breed (9.2-10.5v). The AI coach confirms your measurement technique and notes that Labradors tend toward the higher end of normal VHS values.

Roentgen Trainer - Abdominal Soft Tissue Opacity

You are presented with a ventrodorsal abdominal radiograph of a 3-year-old DSH cat. The AI prompts you to identify the Roentgen signs present. You correctly identify: (1) Opacity - increased soft tissue opacity in the cranial abdomen, (2) Size - an enlarged structure displacing the small intestines caudally and laterally, (3) Shape - round to ovoid mass effect, (4) Margin - well-defined smooth margins. Your proficiency score for opacity identification increases from 72% to 78% (EMA tracking). The AI tutor explains that the combination of these signs is most consistent with a splenic or hepatic mass, and suggests hepatomegaly vs splenomegaly as the primary differential.

Case Lab - Differential Diagnosis from Radiographic Findings

Case: 5-year-old intact female Golden Retriever with progressive exercise intolerance and a soft cough. Thoracic radiographs (right lateral and VD) are provided. You annotate regions of interest using the SVG overlay tool, identifying: dorsal deviation of the trachea, enlarged and rounded cardiac silhouette (VHS 12.8v), distended pulmonary veins, and a mild diffuse interstitial pattern in the caudal lung lobes. Based on your findings, you rank differentials: (1) dilated cardiomyopathy with early congestive heart failure, (2) pericardial effusion, (3) peritoneopericardial diaphragmatic hernia. The AI evaluates your annotation accuracy with Dice coefficient validation (0.82 overlap with gold-standard ROIs) and provides targeted feedback on your radiographic interpretation approach.

How It Works

Three steps to better documentation

Start with CALIPER Calibration

Begin in the CALIPER Lab where you learn precise radiographic measurement techniques. Practice VHS measurements, joint angles, and organ dimensions with real-time AI feedback on your accuracy and technique.

Progress Through 5 Learning Modes

Advance from Normal Atlas (learning normal anatomy) through Roentgen Trainer (mastering the 6 fundamental signs) to Case Lab (full differential diagnosis) and Teleradiology simulation. Each mode unlocks as you earn XP and demonstrate proficiency.

Build Radiology Proficiency with XP Tracking

Every correct annotation, sign identification, and case interpretation earns XP toward your next level. Spaced repetition ensures you retain what you learn, while achievement badges mark key milestones in your radiology education.

Why Students Choose VetGeni for Radiology Training

5 Progressive Learning Modes

CALIPER Lab for measurements, Normal Atlas for anatomy recognition, Roentgen Trainer for sign identification, Case Lab for differential diagnosis, and Teleradiology for professional simulation. Modes unlock progressively as you build proficiency (L1 to L5 at 1200+ XP).

SVG Annotation Tools

Draw directly on radiographic images using SVG overlay tools. Annotate regions of interest, measure structures, and outline lesions. Your annotations are validated against gold-standard ROIs using Dice coefficient scoring for objective accuracy feedback.

Roentgen Sign Analysis

Master the 6 fundamental Roentgen signs used in systematic radiographic interpretation: opacity, size, shape, location, margin, and number. Each sign has dedicated training exercises and EMA-based proficiency tracking so you know exactly where to focus your study.

Spaced Repetition (SM-2 Algorithm)

Cases and signs you struggle with appear more frequently, while mastered material is spaced out over longer intervals. The SM-2 algorithm adapts to your individual learning curve, ensuring efficient long-term retention of radiographic interpretation skills.

XP & Achievement Tracking

Earn experience points for every completed exercise, correct identification, and case solved. Level up through 5 tiers, unlock new modes and features, and collect achievement badges for milestones like your first 100 annotations or mastering all 6 Roentgen signs.

Normal + Pathology Case Library

Study a curated library of both normal radiographic anatomy and pathological cases across species. Each case includes annotated gold-standard images, clinical context, and detailed explanations of radiographic findings and their clinical significance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What learning modes are available in the radiology module?

VetGeni offers 5 progressive radiology learning modes: (1) CALIPER Lab for learning measurement techniques like VHS and joint angles, (2) Normal Atlas for recognizing normal radiographic anatomy across species, (3) Roentgen Trainer for identifying and classifying the 6 fundamental Roentgen signs, (4) Case Lab for practicing full radiographic interpretation with differential diagnosis, and (5) Teleradiology for simulating professional radiology consultation workflows. Modes unlock progressively as you earn XP and demonstrate proficiency.

Does VetGeni use real radiographic images for training?

VetGeni uses curated radiographic case data including both normal anatomy and pathological findings. Cases are presented with full clinical context (signalment, history, presenting complaint) so you practice interpretation in a realistic clinical scenario. Gold-standard annotations are available for objective validation of your own annotations using Dice coefficient scoring.

How is my radiology proficiency tracked?

Proficiency is tracked at multiple levels. Each Roentgen sign has its own EMA (exponential moving average) proficiency score that updates with every exercise. Overall progress is measured through XP and levels, with specific thresholds for unlocking advanced modes (e.g., Level 2 at 150 XP, Level 3 at 400 XP, Level 5 at 1200 XP). The SM-2 spaced repetition algorithm also tracks your retention for individual cases and concepts, scheduling reviews at optimal intervals.

What are the 6 Roentgen signs taught in the module?

The 6 Roentgen signs are the foundational descriptors used in systematic radiographic interpretation: (1) Opacity - the radiodensity of a structure (gas, fat, soft tissue, mineral, metal), (2) Size - whether a structure is normal, enlarged, or reduced, (3) Shape - the overall contour and form, (4) Location - anatomic position and any displacement, (5) Margin - border characteristics (smooth, irregular, well-defined, ill-defined), and (6) Number - single vs multiple lesions or abnormalities. Mastering these signs provides a systematic framework for interpreting any radiograph.

Can faculty assign specific radiology cases to students?

The platform supports curated case libraries organized by body region, species, and difficulty level. Faculty can direct students to specific case sets that align with their curriculum, and student progress through those cases is tracked via the XP and proficiency system. This allows instructors to align VetGeni training with their radiology course objectives.

How much does the radiology module cost for veterinary students?

VetGeni offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required, so you can explore the radiology learning modes before committing. Veterinary student plans start at $15/month with full access to all 5 radiology learning modes, the complete case library, XP tracking, and spaced repetition. Institutional pricing is available for veterinary schools that want to integrate VetGeni into their radiology curriculum.
