FDA-cleared profile
Methinks Software S.L.
Methinks CTA Stroke is a radiological computer aided triage and notification software, parallel workflow tool for use by hospital networks and trained clinicians to identify and communicate images of specific patients to a specialist, independent of standard of care workflow. Methinks CTA Stroke uses an artificial intelligence algorithm to analyze images for findings suggestive of a pre-specified clinical condition and to notify an appropriate medical specialist of these findings in parallel to standard of care image interpretation. Identification of suspected findings is not for diagnostic use beyond notification. Specifically, the device analyzes CT angiogram images of the brain acquired in the acute setting and sends to PACS and/or notifications to a neurovascular specialist that a suspected large vessel occlusion has been identified and recommends review of those images. Images can be previewed through an image viewer. Methinks CTA Stroke is intended to analyze terminal ICA, MCA-M1 and MCA-M2 vessels for LVOs. Images that are previewed are for informational purposes only and not intended for diagnostic use beyond notification. Notified clinicians are responsible for viewing non-compressed images on a diagnostic viewer and engaging in appropriate patient evaluation and relevant discussion with a treating physician before making care-related decisions or requests. Methinks CTA Stroke is limited to analysis of imaging data and should not be used in-lieu of full patient evaluation or relied upon to make or confirm diagnosis.
Clinical fit
Start with the authorized purpose, then verify how it fits your service line and reading workflow.
Exact-submission indication text from the ACR AI Central model card. FDA labeling remains controlling.
Intended-user text reported in the exact-submission ACR model card.
Patient-population text reported in the exact-submission ACR model card; institutional setting may still require vendor confirmation.
Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.
Conservative normalization of explicit wording in an exact-submission source.
Clinical output reported in the exact-submission ACR model card.
Confirm contraindications, unsupported populations, scanners, protocols, and known failure modes.
Regulatory identity
The FDA listing establishes the regulatory identity. It does not by itself establish local workflow fit, pricing, security, or performance in your environment.
Imaging modality reported in the exact-submission ACR AI Central model card.
Anatomy normalized from explicit exact-submission ACR model-card wording.
Implementation
Use these fields to structure a vendor demo, security review, and implementation estimate.
Interoperability terms explicitly reported in the exact-submission ACR model card; interface versions and local compatibility still require confirmation.
Attach an exact-product deployment and data-flow source.
FDA authorization does not establish the current commercial security posture. Request data-flow diagrams, hosting and retention details, access controls, audit logging, attestations, and incident-response documentation.
Training, onboarding, competency, and support commitments are commercial implementation details that require current vendor documentation.
Local acceptance testing, production monitoring, drift review, update control, and incident escalation require a current vendor and site-specific governance plan.

Evidence
Metrics are shown only when they are tied to a source, endpoint, population, and tested product version.
Structured study metadata from the exact-submission ACR model card; this is not an independent evidence synthesis.
Model sensitivity reported by ACR AI Central. Review endpoint, threshold, study population, and tested version before comparison.
Model specificity reported by ACR AI Central. Review endpoint, threshold, study population, and tested version before comparison.
No contextualized exact-version metric has completed evidence review. Regulatory-document values, when available, are shown above with their limitations.

ACR AI Central summarizes the regulatory study; consult the exact FDA materials before comparative use.
Economics and lifecycle
These are common procurement questions; unknown values remain visible until a source supports them.
FDA submission materials do not establish current commercial pricing. Request the pricing unit, term, minimum commitment, implementation fees, and included support from the vendor.
Determine whether any product-specific CPT/HCPCS pathway exists and separate it from billing for the underlying imaging service.
Safety and lifecycle
Recall and adverse-event records are shown only after product matching. Adverse-event reports do not establish incidence or causality.
No native submission-identifier match was found in the checked openFDA radiology recall snapshot. Product-name, manufacturer, and adverse-event searches remain necessary; this does not establish that no recall or safety report exists.

Research record
This audit distinguishes completed source review from fields that have not yet been researched.
Exact-submission ACR model-card fields were normalized under the current provenance rules; vendor and independent-study confirmation remain distinct. Automated exact-name discovery found 0 PubMed and 0 ClinicalTrials.gov candidate records. Candidates require human product and version matching; zero candidates is not evidence that no studies exist. Native FDA recall identifiers produced 0 postmarket candidate records; 0 have been reviewed (0 published, 0 rejected) and 0 remain unreviewed.
Candidate leads remain unpublished until a human confirms the exact product and tested version.
