ShEEP IC Request to purchase MAGNETOM Terra 7T coil upgrade

我们正在申请资金，为我们的西门子7T磁共振成像购买西门子Magnetom Terra 7T线圈升级 扫描仪，预算报价862,550美元。升级由西门子推荐的四个线圈组成 扫描身体的不同部位(头部、身体、膝盖和手腕)。此次升级将集成到我们的 SFVAMC现有的西门子7T核磁共振扫描仪。每个线圈都需要对其相应的身体进行成像 部件，因此没有可选组件，这些组件专用于我们的7T MRI系统和 因此不能单独使用。此次升级提供了以下硬件组件： 用于西门子Magnetom 7T磁共振扫描仪的线圈： ·磁头线圈：西门子Nova 32 ch Rx，8 ch Tx(29.9万美元) ·车身线圈：MRI.TOOLS 32 ch Rx、32 ch Tx自适应模块化设计(295,100美元) ·膝部线圈：西门子QED 28 ch Rx，1 ch Tx(15.6万美元) ·手腕线圈：快速16 ch Rx，1 ch Tx(112,950美元) 下一代西门子7T Terra系统有望很快获得FDA批准用于临床神经 和MSK成像，扩展我们的7T系统的能力以满足Terra的能力是需要的，以开创新的 退伍军人健康在创伤性脑损伤和创伤后应激等领域的临床应用 精神障碍(PTSD)。我们请求上面列出的7T线圈包作为我们7T系统的升级。 关键的是，这一升级不仅将改善我们的整个脑神经成像能力(例如，较低的SAR和 改进了整个质量的同质性)，但也允许扩展和整合切割 EDGE超高场人体、心脏和肌肉骨骼研究。这样的研究将解决病人护理问题 在全系统层面(例如，与精神疾病相互作用的同病代谢性、血管或炎症性疾病 健康)。为这项提议提供资金也将大大加强我们正在进行的招聘高素质教师的努力。 候选人以及吸引跨机构合作者的努力，这有助于保持退伍军人管理局的领先地位 影像技术开发和临床应用的前沿，并最终支持遭受痛苦的退伍军人 患有疾病，如神经(TBI)和精神(PTSD)障碍，对这些人来说，适当的诊断工具 目前还不能使用。

We are requesting funds to purchase a Siemens MAGNETOM Terra 7T coil upgrade for our Siemens 7T MRI scanner at a budgetary quote of $862,550. The upgrade is comprised of four Siemens recommended coils for scanning various parts of the body (head, body, knee, and wrist). The upgrade will be integrated into our existing Siemens 7T MRI scanner at the SFVAMC. Each coil is required for imaging its corresponding body part, therefore there are no optional components and the components are dedicated to our 7T MRI system and so cannot be used independently. The following hardware components are provided through this upgrade: Coils for the Siemens MAGNETOM 7T MRI scanner: • Head coil: Siemens Nova 32 ch Rx, 8 ch Tx ($299,000) • Body coil: MRI.TOOLS 32 ch Rx, 32 ch Tx adaptive modular design ($295,100) • Knee coil: Siemens QED 28 ch Rx, 1 ch Tx ($156,000) • Wrist coil: RAPID 16 ch Rx, 1 ch Tx ($112,950) With the next generation Siemens 7T Terra system expected to soon receive FDA approval for clinical neuro and MSK imaging, expanding our 7T system’s capability to meet that of the Terra is needed to pioneer new clinical applications for veteran health in areas such as traumatic brain injury (TBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). We are requesting the 7T coil package listed above as an upgrade to our 7T system. Critically, not only would this upgrade improve our whole brain neuroimaging capabilities (e.g. lower SAR and improved homogeneity of quality throughout) but it would also allow for expansion and integration of cutting edge ultra-high field body, cardiac, and musculoskeletal research. Such research would address patient care at the system wide level (e.g. co-morbid metabolic, vascular or inflammatory illnesses that interact with mental health). Funding this proposal would also greatly augment our ongoing efforts to recruit high-quality faculty candidates as well as efforts to attract cross-institution collaborators, which help keep the VA at the cutting edge of imaging technology development and clinical applications and ultimately supports veterans afflicted with disease, such as neurological (TBI) and psychiatric (PTSD) disorders, for whom adequate diagnostic tools are not yet available.
