Promise and challenges in outpatient neuroimaging

Promise	Challenges
More frequent scanning for longitudinal follow‐up performed at the point‐ of‐care. Reduced scanning expenses could make MRI a cost‐effective screening tool. Potential for increased compatibility with implanted medical devices. Machine learning can enhance image quality & compatibility with post‐processing software.	Lower‐field strength scanners may still interfere with the function of some implanted devices. Lower resolution and differences in tissue contrast may impact the functionality of existing post‐processing software. Reduced resolution and gadolinium contrast will likely constrain the range of potential applications.
