Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR), the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the first FDA-cleared AI-powered portable MRI system for the brain—the Swoop® system—today announced the release of multiple peer-reviewed publications in the Journal of Neurosurgery and in Stroke, building evidence to support the value of the low field portable MRI in the neurosurgical and stroke treatment sites of care.

The July 2026 issue of the Journal of Neurosurgery featured cases performed in an ambulatory neurosurgery center in which the Swoop system provided access to imaging immediately following endovascular neurosurgical procedures, confirming the absence of findings such as acute ischemic or intracranial hemorrhage and thus enabling same-day discharge. Rapid evaluation of the cause of post-procedural neurological deficits is critical, and post-operative neuroimaging plays a central role in detecting complications and guiding clinical decision-making. Conventional MRI is often impractical or untimely, making the Swoop system uniquely positioned to bring value in the neurosurgical setting.

In addition, Stroke, one of the premier journals in cerebrovascular disease, recently published a collection of articles highlighting the value of low-field MRI across the stroke continuum, including pre-hospital stroke care, acute stroke, neurocritical care, and cerebral small vessel disease. Collectively, the articles review the existing body of data, provide new evidence, and highlight the role of low-field MRI in stroke care with practical guidance for successful implementation. This dedicated collection of publications illustrates the strong position that the Swoop system has established in stroke care and highlights its growing adoption as an emerging approach to stroke imaging, bringing value beyond the critical care environment and into the emergency department and stroke centers.

“These publications are important because they demonstrate the mounting clinical evidence supporting use of the Swoop system beyond the initial use in critical care, across many care settings,” said Edmond Knopp, MD, Hyperfine Chief Medical Officer. “The cases published in the Journal of Neurosurgery provide early evidence that immediate access to on-site imaging can inform post-procedural decision-making and help avoid unnecessary delays or hospital admissions. In addition, the broad body of published peer-reviewed and real-world evidence in stroke care marks an important milestone in the evolution of portable, ultra-low-field MRI, strengthening clinical confidence and supporting its transition from an early-stage technology to routine clinical use. Collectively, these publications strengthen the clinical foundation of the Swoop system and highlight its potential to enable more accessible, efficient, and cost-effective neuroimaging across multiple care settings.”

The use of the Swoop system in support of imaging for a broad range of clinical applications is supported by a robust body of evidence with more than 180 peer-reviewed publications and editorials and over 280 scientific presentations spanning multiple sites of care.

About the Swoop® Portable MRI Systems

The Swoop® Portable MR Imaging® 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.

About Hyperfine, Inc.

Hyperfine, Inc. (Nasdaq: HYPR) is the groundbreaking health technology company that has redefined brain imaging with the Swoop® system—the 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® system out of a passion for redefining brain imaging methodology and how clinicians can apply accessible diagnostic imaging to patient care.
