"The ACTION PMR study looked at stroke detection using Swoop® system images compared to high-field MRI and CT, and our interim findings highlight the promising role of AI-powered portable MRI in acute stroke care,” said Dr. Nandor Pinter, research assistant professor in the Department of Neurosurgery at the University at Buffalo. “Our conclusions, using the Swoop® system in the ED across four institutions, show the system’s potential to revolutionize hyperacute stroke workflow and diagnostics.”

“The eleven abstracts presented at RSNA this week not only demonstrate the Swoop® system’s ability to deliver diagnostic-quality MR brain imaging at the point of care but also reflect the growing excitement and momentum around portable MRI technology,” said Dr. Edmond Knopp, Chief Medical Officer at Hyperfine. “These results expand the evidence base for stroke applications, showcasing the system’s potential to transform care in resource-limited and high-acuity settings. The enthusiasm we’ve seen from clinicians and researchers at RSNA underscores the Swoop® system’s impact in advancing stroke diagnostics and improving patient outcomes when and where it’s needed most.”

About the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® System
The Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® system is U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared for brain imaging of patients of all ages. It is a portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis. The Swoop® system also has CE certification in the European Union and UKCA certification in the United Kingdom. The Swoop® system is commercially available in a select number of international markets.


About Hyperfine, Inc.
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR) is the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the Swoop® system—the first FDA-cleared, portable, ultra-low-field, magnetic resonance brain imaging system capable of providing imaging at multiple points of professional care. The mission of Hyperfine, Inc. is to revolutionize patient care globally through transformational, accessible, clinically relevant diagnostic imaging. Founded by Dr. Jonathan Rothberg in a technology-based incubator called 4Catalyzer, Hyperfine, Inc. scientists, engineers, and physicists developed the Swoop® system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic imaging to patient care.
