Ultra-low field strength brain MRI with a portable system: Maslow’s hammer looking for a nail?

The development of portable ultra-low field strength brain MRI is a breakthrough, with the potential to bring imaging to the patient, rather than the other way around. This opens new horizons for greater MRI accessibility, including bedside neuroimaging. Yet, the technology continues to elicit scepticism and doubts from the clinical community. The ‘killer application’ is yet to be defined. The aim of this presentation is to focus on current clinical results and future potential of the technology.
