Hyperfine Inc. announced the results of a study of a portable magnetic resonance imaging device
The world's first portable MRI system is alreadyFDA approved. It allows doctors to quickly monitor the current state of the injury and make vital decisions. The technology provides images using a wireless tablet and detects strokes requiring surgery.
American Heart AssociationStroke Medicine recommends rapid brain imaging for all hospitalized patients. For a long time, doctors used computed tomography (CT) for imaging. However, MRI is as accurate as CT for detecting acute cerebral hemorrhage and avoids radiation exposure. But MRI technology is not always available, is expensive, and the procedure takes longer. The new portable device will solve these problems, Hyperfine engineers are confident.
