Low-field MRI stroke imaging at 0.55T may not be inferior to scanners with higher field strengths and thus has great potential as a low-cost alternative in future stroke diagnostics. However, there are limitations in the detection of very small infarcts. Further technical developments with follow-up studies must show whether this problem can be solved.
