To display an SVG image with SwiftUI, you can use the Image view in SwiftUI. However, SwiftUI does not natively support SVG files directly. You would typically need to convert the SVG to a format that SwiftUI can handle, such as PNG or PDF, or use a third-party library to render SVGs.

Here's a basic example of how you might display an image in SwiftUI:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Image("exampleImage") // Replace with your image name
            .resizable()
            .scaledToFit()
    }
}

If you are dealing with vector images and want them to scale appropriately, you might consider using PDF assets, as they can scale without losing quality. You can also use the scaledMetric API to adjust the size of images based on the selected text size, as mentioned in the session Get started with Dynamic Type.

For more advanced image handling, such as HDR images, you can refer to the session Use HDR for dynamic image experiences in your app, which discusses displaying images with dynamic range in SwiftUI.
