RapidAI has received U.S. Food and Drug Administration 510(k) clearance for Rapid RV/LV, its newest addition to the Rapid PE solution. The tool enables physicians to quickly assess the ratio between the right ventricle (RV) and the left ventricle (LV), a key indicator of pulmonary embolism (PE) severity. Automating this process will enable care teams to more quickly prioritize patients and accelerate decision making.
“Rapid PE streamlines the care pathway from the moment a suspected PE patient is scanned, to diagnosis and through treatment—reducing the complexities that come with managing PE, helping teams triage patients faster, and reducing overall time to treatment,” RapidAI CEO Karim Karti said. “The FDA clearance of Rapid RV/LV further enhances our PE solution by providing physicians with an immediate view into patients suffering from RV strain, which is critical to getting the right patients to the right care as fast as possible. This is yet another step toward delivering AI-based solutions that help physicians further enhance patient care and impact patient outcomes to ultimately improve quality of life—something we are very proud to be part of.”
Rapid RV/LV uses AI to analyze Computerized Tomography Pulmonary Angiograms (CTPAs) and automatically calculate the RV/LV ratio within minutes of the scan, enabling physicians to more quickly conduct risk stratification for patients with right heart strain. Combined with the results from the Rapid PE triage and notification product, which notifies clinicians of suspected PE, and the workflow and communication tools of the Rapid Workflow mobile and web apps, PE care teams now have the information they need at their fingertips to make faster care decisions and to communicate with and activate the team for truly coordinated care.
As a component of the Rapid PE solution, the key benefits of Rapid RV/LV include:
RapidAI uses AI to combat life-threatening vascular and neurovascular conditions. Leading the next evolution of clinical decision-making and patient workflow, RapidAI is empowering physicians to make faster decisions for better patient outcomes. Based on intelligence gained from nearly 8 million scans in more than 2,000 hospitals in over 100 countries, the Rapid platform transforms care coordination, offering care teams a level of patient visibility never before possible.

As a component of the Rapid PE solution, the key benefits of Rapid RV/LV include:
- Quickly identifies patients with possible right heart strain
- Reduces time to diagnosis
- Reduces variability and standardizes RV/LV measurement
