Background: Early detection of acute brain injury (ABI) at the bedside is critical in improving survival for patients with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support. We aimed to examine the safety of ultra-low-field (ULF; 0.064-T) portable magnetic resonance imaging (pMRI) in patients undergoing ECMO and to investigate the ABI frequency and types with ULF-pMRI.

- The study aimed to assess the safety and effectiveness of ultra-low-field portable MRI (ULF-pMRI) for detecting acute brain injuries (ABI) in patients on extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) support.* -
- Conducted at two academic centers, the study involved 50 patients, with successful imaging and a low incidence of adverse events; ABI was found in 44% of patients, mostly ischemic strokes.* -
- ULF-pMRI proved to be a safe and potentially more sensitive method for detecting ischemic brain injuries compared to traditional head CT scans, indicating its usefulness in clinical settings and further research.*
