About this Program

This webinar will provide insight and education on a hospital’s early experience with ultra-low-field, point-of-care MRI technology and an overview of how it has impacted patients in critical care and neuro-interventional neurosurgery.

Additionally, the presenters will discuss the impact of imaging at the patient’s bedside, neuroradiology’s interpretation of patient scans, and how point-of-care imaging can influence the course of care for critical patients.


*This presentation is for informational purposes only for Physicians and is not a CME-earning session. 

Educational Objectives

To provide insight and expertise on how ultra-low-field, point-of-care MRI can support decision-making by providing access to neuroimaging at a time when:

  • A patient’s condition may present adverse event risks that make transport a challenge
  • Imaging is unavailable due to staffing or scanner availability
  • Imaging is an option that clinicians would not have previously considered

At the conclusion of this webinar, attendees will be able to: 

  • Understand how point-of-care MRI can impact critical decision-making for ICU patients or patients transported to the ICU for postoperative observation
  • Understand the value of easily accessible imaging and its role in physician decision-making
  • Understand how point-of-care MRI provides different information than seen with CT scans and why this matters to ICU patients
