Current role of portable MRI in diagnosis of acute neurological conditions
Neuroimaging is an inevitable component of the assessment of neurological emergencies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging modality for detecting neurological pathologies and provides higher sensitivity than other modalities. However, difficulties such as intra-hospital transpo...

description | Neuroimaging is an inevitable component of the assessment of neurological emergencies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is the preferred imaging modality for detecting neurological pathologies and provides higher sensitivity than other modalities. However, difficulties such as intra-hospital transport, long exam times, and availability in strict access-controlled suites limit its utility in emergency departments and intensive care units (ICUs). The evolution of novel imaging technologies over the past decades has led to the development of portable MRI (pMRI) machines that can be deployed at point-of-care. This article reviews pMRI technologies and their clinical implications in acute neurological conditions. Benefits of pMRI include timely and accurate detection of major acute neurological pathologies such as stroke and intracranial hemorrhage. Additionally, pMRI can be potentially used to monitor the progression of neurological complications by facilitating serial measurements at the bedside. |
