MRI system Swoop™

for cranial tomographyopenmobile

Fast, simple, and cost-effective MR imaging for your patients. Why portable MR imaging? In 1977, the invention of MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) transformed medicine—for some people. Today, entire regions of the US and the world lack access to MRI. MRI exists in select hospitals, hemmed in by cement, steep learning curves, anxiety, and towering expense. Even in facilities that offer MRI, it can be resource-intensive and a lengthy, isolating, and stressful procedure for the patient. We created the Swoop system to revolutionize the standard of care for neuroimaging. Swoop, the world’s first MR imaging system capable of providing neuroimaging at the point of care, can inform the timely diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions within a broad range of clinical settings. Hyperfine designed the Swoop system to address the limitations of current imaging technologies and make MR imaging accessible nearly anytime and anywhere in a hospital setting. The system drives directly to a patient’s bedside, plugs into a standard electrical outlet, and is controlled by an Apple iPad®. Ready to scan in less than three minutes, the system enables care decisions without patient transport to a radiology suite. Designed to fit inside elevators and through doorways, the Swoop system maneuvers through crowded healthcare environments to a patient’s bedside at the point of care. Small and highly portable, the system is ideal for neuroimaging in intensive care units and pediatric facilities. Imaging sequences include T1, T2, FLAIR, and DWI (and accompanying ADC map).
