Hyperfine Enrolls First Patient in Contrast PMR Study
Hyperfine announced the enrollment of the first patient in the Contrast PMR study, a prospective, multi-center clinical study designed to evaluate the feasibility and visualization benefits of contrast-enhanced ultra-low-field portable MRI. The study is intended to support a future FDA submission to expand the Swoop system's intended use to include gadolinium-based contrast agents. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the visualization of brain lesions, including lesions associated with blood-brain barrier disruption, using contrast agents with ultra-low-field portable MRI. Visualization benefits will be assessed using three endpoints related to lesion appearance. The study will enroll approximately 70 patients across multiple sites in the United States.
