CureMetrix vs Hyperfine Swoop

Swoop is a 0.064T portable brain MRI that runs without a shielded room, which suits ICU teams and resource-limited sites. The owner buys the system, then pays for an annual software, service and support agreement after a one-year warranty, on 36- or 60-month terms (FY2025 10-K summary). Current dollar amounts are not public, though the 10-K puts the average conventional MRI at about $1.2M. Image quality sits below 1.5T and 3T, with structural contrasts only and no contrast-enhanced T1. The latest Swoop 510(k) was decided in August 2026. CureMetrix is mammography software priced by quote. Its fit is a breast imaging practice that wants breast arterial calcification quantification on screening mammograms, where the vendor reports AUC of 0.98 to 0.992 on its own data. A neurology service that needs contrast-enhanced T1 should send those patients to a fixed scanner and keep Swoop for the bedside.
