DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This shared instrumentation proposal request funds to support the upgrade of the 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet at the UCSD Center for Functional MRI (CFMRI). In specific, because performance issues with the current magnet have severely impacted the progress of over 20 currently funded NIH studies; we propose to acquire a modern and reliable magnet for use with our existing Bruker Avance II MRI console. The purchase of the 7 Tesla magnets is critical to a wide range of NIH-funded projects being performed at UCSD and its neighboring institutions, covering a diverse set of research areas, including studies of alcoholism, pulmonary disease, and cancer. Public Health Relevance: The proposed acquisition of the magnet is necessary to support ongoing NIH-funded studies that are focused on (1) developing new imaging methods for the diagnosis of disease and (2) achieving an understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying health and disease. These studies are likely to result in the improved diagnosis and treatment of a number of health conditions, such as alcoholism, cancer, and heart disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：此共享仪器提案请求资金支持 UCSD 功能 MRI 中心 (CFMRI) 的 7T 磁共振成像 (MRI) 磁体的升级。具体来说，因为当前磁铁的性能问题已经严重影响了 NIH 目前资助的 20 多项研究的进展；我们建议购买一块现代且可靠的磁铁，与我们现有的 Bruker Avance II MRI 控制台一起使用。购买 7 块特斯拉磁铁对于 UCSD 及其邻近机构正在进行的一系列由 NIH 资助的项目至关重要，这些项目涵盖了多种研究领域，包括酗酒、肺部疾病和癌症的研究。 公共健康相关性：拟议的磁铁收购对于支持正在进行的 NIH 资助的研究是必要的，这些研究的重点是（1）开发用于疾病诊断的新成像方法以及（2）了解健康和疾病的基本机制。这些研究可能会改善许多健康状况的诊断和治疗，例如酗酒、癌症和心脏病。
