## Description

Requirements The ultra–low-field portable MRI provides a powerful opportunity to advance our neuroimaging research by enabling high-quality imaging directly at the bedside. Unlike conventional high-field scanners that require specialized infrastructure and patient transport, the Hyperfine Swoop allows us to image critically ill or non-ambulatory patients in their current care environment.

This portability greatly expands the patient populations we can study and supports real-time assessment of neurological conditions in settings where traditional MRI is impractical. Our use of the ultra–low-field system builds on patient studies we initiated several years ago through a strong and ongoing collaboration with Hyperfine. These studies established the feasibility and value of point of care neuroimaging, and the next-generation Swoop now allows us to continue and enhance this work.

By pairing ultra–low-field scans with high-field MRI, we can systematically validate low-field metrics against established standards and strengthen the scientific rigor of our research.
