New real-world data presented at this year's European Stroke Organisation Conference (ESOC) suggests that RapidAI’s software more accurately identifies medium vessel occlusions (MeVOs) than Viz.ai in stroke patients. The San Mateo, California-based company analyzed 1,591 consecutive stroke cases from a comprehensive stroke center. Of the 1,122 cases eligible for evaluation, RapidAI’s CT perfusion imaging identified 93% of MeVOs, compared to 70% detected by Viz.ai.
