Hyperfine to offer new version of portable MRI

The FDA has approved a new “deep-learning” version of Hyperfine’s portable MRI machine, the Guilford-based company reports.

Deep learning (DL), a type of machine learning and artificial intelligence, powers the company’s advanced image reconstruction technology, which allows for better image quality and more diagnostic value for Hyperfine’s Swoop portable MRI, according to the company.

Hyperfine President CEO Dave Scott said, “Improved image quality through artificial intelligence, paired with the lower cost and bedside capabilities of Swoop, are enabling greater access to high-quality MR imaging for patients, regardless of income, resources or location.”
