The 2024 ASNR Annual Meeting had a strong focus on Alzheimer’s disease care and growing excitement about ultra-low-field MRI
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 22, 2024--
Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the first FDA-cleared portable magnetic resonance (MR) brain imaging system—the Swoop® system—today announced that the company participated in the American Society of Neuroradiology (ASNR) 2024 Annual Meeting held in Las Vegas between May 18–22, 2024. This event featured several sessions showcasing the unique capabilities of the Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® system. There was significant additional focus on the importance of MRI in the care of Alzheimer’s patients—an area of great opportunity for portable MR imaging.
Highlights from the 2024 ASNR Annual Meeting include:
-
Ultra-low-field, portable MR brain imaging was featured as a high-potential technology that could have significant diagnostic impact across many disease states.
-
Pioneering users of the Swoop® system showcased their clinical experience and workflow implementation in their centers.
-
The substantial need for Alzheimer’s treatment-related MRI and the gap in the ability to support that need with current diagnostic capacity was reinforced multiple times on the podium.
-
Several educational sessions focused on the use of MRI for monitoring amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) and the importance of diagnosing ARIA to ensure the safe deployment and continuation of Alzheimer’s treatments.
“In my over 30 years of experience as a senior member of the ASNR, I have never seen such excitement and trepidation in the neuroradiology community in the care of specific disease states. The enthusiasm shown by my fellow neuroradiologists for the diagnosis and management of Alzheimer’s disease was overwhelming, as was the concern for how this can be handled with the current imaging infrastructure. By bringing ultra-low-field, portable MR brain imaging into the neuroradiology armamentarium, attendees immediately saw the significant potential benefit of this technology in the care of these patients,” said Edmond Knopp, MD, Vice President of Medical Affairs at Hyperfine, Inc.

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.
