In the 20th century, the advent of neuroimaging dramatically altered the field of neurologic care. However, despite iterative advances since the invention of CT and MRI, little progress has been made to bring MR neuroimaging to the point of care. Recently, the emergence of a low-field (<1 T) portable MRI (pMRI) is setting the stage to revolutionize the landscape of accessible neuroimaging. Users can transport the pMRI into a variety of locations, using a standard 110-220 V wall outlet. In this article, we discuss current applications for pMRI, including in the acute and critical care settings, the barriers to broad implementation, and future opportunities.
在 20 世纪，神经影像学的出现极大地改变了神经科护理领域。然而，尽管自 CT 和 MRI 发明以来已经取得了迭代式的进步，但在将磁共振神经影像学带到床边方面几乎没有取得进展。最近，一种低场（<1 T）便携式 MRI（pMRI）的出现正在为改变可及性神经影像学的格局奠定基础。用户可以使用标准的 110-220V 墙壁插座将 pMRI 运送到各种位置。在本文中，我们讨论了 pMRI 的当前应用，包括在急性和重症监护环境中的应用，以及广泛实施的障碍和未来的机会。
