DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This proposal, in response to the NCRR RFA RR-03-009, requests funds to cost share the purchase of a 3.0 Tesla advanced generation large bore magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner to support multiple programs of human and animal health-related research at Dartmouth Medical School and College, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) and the Thayer School of Engineering. A campus wide multidisciplinary consortium of investigators with over $15M in annual imaging related sponsored research urgently requires access to state of the art high field scanning capability to accomplish current and emerging scientific goals. A detailed technical study examined the critical features needed by investigators in terms of field strength, gradients, and radiofrequency coils parallel imaging, software integration and other features. Representative Major User Groups for the proposed NRC include: (1) Aging and Alzheimer's Disease; (2) Anxiety Disorders Treatment; (3) Bioinformatics and Image Analysis; (4) Biophysics, Bioengineering and Radiological Research Programs; (5) Brain Injury Research Programs: Human and Animal Models; (6) Cardiovascular Imaging and Angiogenesis Centers; (7) Cognitive Neuroscience Program; (8) Epilepsy and Functional Neurosurgery; (9) Multiple Sclerosis Center; (10) Neuro-Oncology, Radiation and Chemotherapy Imaging Studies; (11) Pediatric Psychopharmacology; (12) Schizophrenia, Affective Disorders and Substance Abuse Research; (13) Spine and Musculoskeletal Clinical Research Centers; (14) Other Users, Pilot Projects and Training Grants/Fellowship Programs. The NRC will be extensively utilized and administered by an experienced team. It will become self-sufficient and greatly enhance the scientific productivity of many leading investigators. It will also facilitate the training of future biomedical scientists.

描述（由申请人提供）：该提案对NCRR RFA RR-03-009响应，要求资金使购买3.0 Tesla高级高级磁共振成像（MRI）扫描仪的购买，以支持Dartmouth医学院，Dartsock Hitchcock Hitchccs and Dhmc（Dhmc the dhmc of Dhmc of Dhmc of Dhmc of Human shealt coot of Human shealt coot of Human shealt coot of Human shealt coot of Human shealt coot Coop concenter）scanner。一个校园广泛的跨学科联盟由超过1500万美元的年度影像学赞助研究急切地需要进入最先进的高现场扫描能力，以实现当前和新兴的科学目标。一项详细的技术研究研究了研究人员在现场强度，梯度和射频线圈并行成像，软件集成和其他功能方面所需的关键特征。拟议的NRC的代表性主要用户组包括：（1）衰老和阿尔茨海默氏病； （2）焦虑症治疗； （3）生物信息学和图像分析； （4）生物物理学，生物工程和放射学研究计划； （5）脑损伤研究计划：人类和动物模型； （6）心血管成像和血管生成中心； （7）认知神经科学计划； （8）癫痫和功能性神经外科； （9）多发性硬化中心； （10）神经肿瘤学，放射和化学疗法成像研究； （11）小儿心理药理学； （12）精神分裂症，情感障碍和药物滥用研究； （13）脊柱和肌肉骨骼临床研究中心； （14）其他用户，试点项目和培训补助金计划。 NRC将由经验丰富的团队广泛利用和管理。它将变得自给自足，并大大提高许多领先的研究人员的科学生产力。这也将促进对未来生物医学科学家的培训。
