South Korea's SK Telecom Co. announced on Monday that it signed a distribution agreement with Canadian pet medical equipment company Nuon & Nikki for the distribution of X Caliber in Canada.

Nuon & Nikki is a company established in October last year by Nuon Imaging, a Canadian pet medical prevention company, and Nikki Health Solutions, a manufacturer of radiology equipment and software.

SK Telecom plans to integrate X Caliber with Nuon & Nikki's veterinary imaging software Skyline PACS and provide it to about 100 animal hospitals in Canada starting next month.

They have agreed to create a diagnostic assistance solution optimized for North America using local pet data and to collaborate on research to enhance the service.

SK Telecom has also signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with US veterinary imaging equipment distributor MyVet Imaging to introduce X Caliber.

Along with the MOU, the two companies have begun proof of concept (PoC) at a large animal hospital in New Jersey.

SK Telecom plans to reflect the needs of US animal hospitals and finalize a commercial contract within the third quarter of this year.

X Caliber, first launched in South Korea in September 2022, utilizes AI to assist veterinarians in diagnosing diseases by analyzing pet X-ray images.

It's expanding its reach to overseas markets such as Australia and Singapore.

As its global expansion accelerates, SK Telecom plans to add two new AI automatic measurement solutions.
