E-223 Improved time to diagnosis with portable MR imaging

ConclusionPortable MRI is a promising innovation with the aim to expand patient access and improve diagnostic times so that critical and potential lifesaving imaging diagnoses can be promptly treated with the urgency that is required. While initial analysis provides evidence that portable MRI has advantages over conventional MRI systems including workflow efficiency and improved patient imaging times, this will need to be compared to the unfortunate negative drawbacks of lessened image resolution and limited imaging sequences that come with the convenience of portable MRI systems. If the hypothesis is further corroborated, then future studies could be aimed at investigating and comparing the various treatment protocols of initial stroke imaging through the emergency department with the incorporation of this user-friendly and readily available technology.Disclosures O.
