What is it indicated for?

The Swoop Point-of-Care Magnetic Resonance Imaging Device is a bedside magnetic resonance imaging device for producing images that display the internal structure of the head where full diagnostic examination is not clinically practical. When interpreted by a trained physician, these images provide information that can be useful in determining a diagnosis.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
