\n\u201cThe neurosurgical setting is becoming an important site of care for accessible imaging, where traditional MRI has intrinsic limitations. The Swoop\u00ae system may open up new possibilities for integrating imaging directly into surgical workflows,\u201d said Hyperfine Chief Operating Officer Tom Teisseyre. \u201cProviding access to imaging at key moments around a procedure may help clinical teams make better informed decisions, improve efficiency, and ultimately advance how surgical care is delivered.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Neurosurgery Advisory Council brings together distinguished neurosurgeons from leading academic medical centers and community hospitals around the world, representing expertise in craniotomy, endovascular neurosurgery, transsphenoidal surgery, tumor resection, and other complex procedures. Together, members will help evaluate the potential role of the Swoop\u00ae system across the neurosurgical continuum\u2014from preoperative planning and intraoperative decision-making to postoperative monitoring and discharge. The council will provide strategic clinical guidance on workflow integration, product development, and evidence generation while sharing real-world experience that may help define best practices and expand the clinical utility of portable MRI across neurosurgical subspecialties.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThe neurosurgical community has long recognized the value of intraoperative MRI, but access has been limited by the substantial infrastructure requirements, cost, and workflow demands of having a high-field MRI system in the OR,\u201d said Edmond Knopp, MD, Chief Medical Officer of Hyperfine. \u201cPortable, ultra-low field MRI has the potential to fundamentally change how and where imaging is used throughout the neurosurgical care pathway. Through collaboration with leading experts in the field, we aim to accelerate its integration into clinical practice and maximize its impact on surgical decision-making and patient care.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nFor more information about the Swoop\u00ae system, please visit HyperfineMRI.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the Swoop\u00ae Portable MRI Systems<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe Swoop\u00ae Portable MR Imaging\u00ae Systems are U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) cleared for brain imaging of patients of all ages. They are portable, ultra-low-field magnetic resonance imaging devices 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.<\/p>\n About Hyperfine, Inc.<\/b><\/p>\n \nHyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR) is the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the Swoop\u00ae system\u2014the 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\u00ae system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic imaging to patient care.
