Swoop system
General

The Swoop system brings MR brain imaging within reach.

The Swoop system is the only FDA-cleared portable MR brain imaging system that combines ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging with artificial intelligence-powered software to provide brain imaging at the point of care, helping to inform the timely diagnosis and treatment of acute conditions within a broad range of clinical settings.

The Swoop portable MR brain imaging system expands patient access while being more cost-effective than conventional high-field imaging systems. And, unlike high-field MR imaging, which requires specialized infrastructure and radiologic technicians, Swoop system operation, navigation, and safety training are simple, allowing for expanded user access.

The Swoop system is easy to use. It can be driven directly to a patient’s bedside and plugged into a standard electrical outlet. Utilizing the provided Apple® iPad Pro® mobile digital device, the operator can initiate a scan and generate, display, and export images of the brain within minutes—offering clinicians workflow efficiencies with the potential to impact critical decision-making without transporting the patient away from the point of care.

For the patient, the Swoop system is a convenient and potentially low-stress experience. In addition to potentially reducing transport-related adverse events, with the Swoop system, patients can remain safe and comfortable with family and caregivers by their side. It is helpful in diverse environments, can reduce the time a patient would otherwise have to wait for a conventional MRI scan, and provides expanded access to patients who might not be candidates for high-field MR imaging at the time of care1.
