As an ER nurse, the portable MRI system would be an amazing addition to an ER. While CT scan and X-ray seem to be the ER's go-to in terms of radiology, that is mainly due to the fact that MRI is not easily accessible in an ER. I work at Parkland Hospital in Dallas and we only have two MRI machines for the use of the whole hospital (for both ER and inpatient use). The portable MRI system would be very convenient to have in the ER as it can be brought directly to the patient's bedside. It would be easier to navigate around a patient's ventilator, IV pump, and other equipment needed to keep the patient stabilized. Many times, patient's get too claustrophobic while in an MRI scanner, requiring the ER nurse to go upstairs to the MRI room to administer anxiolytic mediations. The portable MRI system would allow for family and staff to remain at the patient's bedside, making it easier to comfort the patient without administering medication. I would highly recommend the use of the portable MRI system within an ER setting as it would be helpful in diagnosing acute strokes not seen on a traditional CT scan.

Swoop is the first portable, point-of-care MRI system in the world. Hyperfine's goal was to make MRI accessible to any patient, regardless of their location or income (About, 2020). Hyperfine announced and introduced their portable MRI system at the ACEP Assembly in 2019. The portable MRI received 510(k) FDA clearance in 2020 (News, 2020).
