HeartFlow vs RapidAI

For a hospital with a stroke code line but no CT perfusion protocol or neurointerventional team, RapidAI is the weaker buy. Its modules center on CT perfusion, ASPECTS, LVO triage and ICH, the license is enterprise and hospital-level, and the vendor claims use in more than 2,500 hospitals. The 510(k)s cover Rapid ICH, Rapid ASPECTS and Rapid LVO, a computer-assisted triage and notification device, and the platform adds pulmonary embolism and aortic modules. Across LVO tools including RapidAI, a scoping review put proximal LVO sensitivity at 78 to 97%, with more variation for distal and posterior occlusions. HeartFlow analyses coronary CT angiograms for fractional flow reserve and plaque, and a cardiac CT lab pays per case under the pay-per-use model its 10-K describes, with no list price.
