The Hyperfine Swoop at our institution is set up in an appropriately optimized temperature- and humidity-controlled dedicated scanning room (A) with a patient scanning couch of an appropriate height adjacent to it. B and C, The blue padding block was sourced by our group and is applied within the head coil of the scanner with the gray manufacturer-provided padding applied over it, extending onto the patient’s scanning couch. The role of the blue padding block is to elevate the patient’s head a little further, thereby optimizing the patient’s head position further in the scanner head coil for more optimal head coverage during scanning. A patient model within the scanner (D) demonstrating the swaddling technique and a detailed view of the patient’s head position within the head coil (E).
