Hyperfine partnership aims to increase brain scans

While annual procedures like mammograms and colonoscopies can detect early signs of cancer, routine scanning for brain disease remains less common.

A Guilford company’s new partnership aims to fix that, and help find brain abnormalities such as tumors early.

Hyperfine Inc. of Guilford recently announced it is teaming up with the New York-based Brain Tumor Foundation (BTF) to provide access to free brain scans around the country.
