Accelerate Stroke Care

AI-powered portable MRI is another way to BE FAST in stroke care—because time lost is brain lost.

Quick scanning when every minute counts

Fast DWI sequence reduces scan time by 4 minutes (relative to standard DWI).

A tissue clock for identifying treatable strokes

For wake-up strokes or unknown onset, DWI-FLAIR mismatch can serve as a tissue-based marker to help determine stroke age—critical for guiding treatment decisions.

How the Swoop System Accelerates Stroke Care

Step 1

Faster
Stroke
Detection

Supports rapid assessment without the delays and risks associated with conventional MRI scheduling and transfer1.

Step 2

Accelerated
Treatment
Decisions

Provides crucial information to help inform quicker triage, treatment planning, downgrade, and discharge decisions.

Step 3

Streamlined
Follow-up
Imaging

Enables post-intervention assessments and repeated imaging for monitoring at the point of care.

Case Studies
Stroke Detection at the Point of Care

These patients presented to emergency departments with stroke symptoms. Swoop system images enabled rapid bedside assessments, eliminating transportation delays to conventional MRI and allowing rapid triage to stoke units where the patients received the care they needed. ​

Right Anterior Choroidal Infarct

Patient Profile
63-year-old patient with a history of diabetes and hypertension. Presented to the ED with acute-onset left-sided weakness and sensory disturbance involving the face and extremities.

“The Swoop system has transformed how we manage stroke care. Having MRI at the bedside means we can make faster, more confident decisions and keep patients moving through the right pathway. It’s a game-changer for patient flow and outcomes.”
