An RSNA attendee undergoes an MRI brain scan on the expo floor using the Hyperfine Swoop head MRI system. It is self-shields with a low field 0.064 T. It uses a standard wall power outlet and can be wheeled through a standard 34-inch wide door frame. It weighs 1,400 pounds. Imaging sequences include T1, T2, FLAIR, and DWI (with ADC map) and its operational controls are all directed on an iPad interface. #RSNA #RSNA22
