Popis: Background: Radiographic diagnosis of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a critical determinant of stroke care pathways requiring patient transport to a neuroimaging suite. Advances in low-field MRI have made it possible to obtain clinically useful imaging at the point of care (POC). Aim: The aim of this study was to obtain preliminary data regarding the ability of a bedside POC MRI scanner to detect ICH. Methods: We studied 36 patients with a diagnosis of ICH (n=18) or ischemic stroke (n=18). Five blinded readers independently evaluated T2W and FLAIR exams acquired prospectively on a 64 mT, portable bedside MRI system (Hyperfine Research, Inc). Kappa coefficients (κ) were calculated to determine inter-rater agreement. Ground truth was obtained from the clinical report of the closest conventional imaging study (17.9 ± 10.4 hours) and verified by a core reader. For each exam, majority consensus among raters was used to determine sensitivity. Results: ICH volume ranged from 4 to 101 cc (median of 13 cc). Exams were acquired within 7 days of symptom onset (51.1 ± 28.8 hours). A pathologic lesion was identified on every exam with 100% sensitivity. Sensitivity for distinguishing any hemorrhage was 89% and specificity was 83%. The mean sensitivity and specificity for individual raters was 79% and 69%, respectively. When limited to supratentorial hemorrhage, consensus sensitivity was 94%. For ICH cases detected by all raters (n=9), there was 100% accuracy for localizing the bleed (lobar vs. non-lobar) with perfect agreement among raters (κ = 1, p Conclusions: These data suggest that low-field, POC MRI may be used to detect hemorrhagic stroke at the bedside. Further work is needed to evaluate this approach in the hyperacute setting and across a wide range of ICH characteristics.
