There's no portable bedside MR available though.
Even if you have an MR machine with a very low strength primary fields you'll still need to consider safety issues related to the gradients and coils.
Edit: To add some clarity, portable MR systems are low field, so that means the scans will be lower SNR and resolution, which are much faster to acquire. I think it would also rule out diffusion scans, since those require high gradients. MR acquisitions are also much faster nowadays due to compressed sensing and deep learning reconstructions.
