Why am I seeing this message on my radiologist report?

“SignalPET’s Radiologists have the benefit of the Complete Report as a reference, which is often used for report structure or wording purposes.”

This message is included to promote transparency and to clarify how SignalPET integrates artificial intelligence with independent veterinary radiologist expertise to deliver accurate, high-quality diagnostic imaging reports.

Radiologist Independence and Accountability

All radiologist-signed reports issued through SignalPET are independently reviewed, authored, and finalized by board-certified veterinary radiologists. These radiologists are selected by Dr. Eric Van Eerde, DVM, DACVR, based on their professional reputation, experience, and excellence in veterinary diagnostic imaging.

Each radiologist maintains full clinical responsibility for their report. SignalPET does not alter, influence, or override the radiologist’s medical findings, interpretations, or conclusions.

A Structured, Blinded Review Protocol to Reduce Cognitive Bias

SignalPET’s radiologist review methodology was designed with a single objective: maximize diagnostic accuracy while preserving radiologist independence and clinical judgment. To achieve this, radiologists follow a structured, stepwise review protocol developed to reduce cognitive bias.

Radiologists begin every case with a blinded review of the imaging study. This ensures that the initial interpretation is based solely on imaging findings and preserves objective pattern recognition.

Why Reports May Appear Similar

In many cases, the radiologist’s final report may closely align with the AI-generated Complete Report. This similarity reflects independent agreement, not reliance or substitution.

SignalPET’s AI is trained to model expert-level radiologic reasoning. When a radiologist’s independent review, arrives at the same conclusions, this concordance reinforces diagnostic confidence and demonstrates system reliability. Agreement between AI and radiologist interpretation is a clinical strength, not redundancy.

In addition, SignalPET’s AI includes built-in quality assurance mechanisms that may escalate full or partial cases to a veterinary radiologist during the generation of the Complete Report. When a radiologist-signed report is requested, these cases or specific findings are reviewed by a radiologist as part of the reporting process. In some instances, this continuity of quality assurance may result in similarities between reports.

Radiologists may also choose to use the AI report’s structure or wording as a reporting template when it accurately reflects their independent medical judgment.

Our Commitment to Transparency and Quality

SignalPET is committed to full clinical transparency. Radiologists are provided with all relevant medical information related to the case. Nothing is withheld or selectively filtered. This ensures a comprehensive understanding while maintaining interpretive independence.

When you see this message, it confirms that your case was independently reviewed, interpreted, and finalized by a veterinary radiologist, and that any similarity to the AI report reflects alignment, quality assurance, and diagnostic confidence, not shortcutting or reduced effort.
