ShEEP Request for Bruker BioSpec 3T MRI System

在活体小动物身上进行纵向磁共振成像(MRI)的能力将 对退伍军人管理局支持的大量基础、转换和临床前项目产生重大和积极的影响 与退伍军人医疗保健相关的生物医学/行为研究目前在退伍军人圣地亚哥大学进行 医疗保健系统(VASDHS)。我们是一个由20多名目前由VA荣誉奖资助的调查人员组成的小组 世卫组织将直接受益于收购Bruker BioSpec 3T磁共振系统。我们的项目涵盖了广泛的 一系列领域和研究，包括放射学、骨科、风湿学、生物工程、内分泌学、 神经学、精神病学、肺病学、心脏病学、胃肠病学、肾脏病学、泌尿科和外科。这个 收购小型动物核磁共振成像系统不仅将影响VASDHS的基础临床前研究， 但也有望通过改善患者的临床护理和 支持退伍军人管理局的医疗保健使命。

The capability of performing longitudinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on small animals in vivo will significantly and positively impact a large number of VA-supported projects in basic, translational and preclinical biomedical/behavioral research relevant to Veteran's healthcare currently conducted at the VA San Diego Healthcare System (VASDHS). We are a group of over 20 currently funded investigators with VA Merit Awards who will directly benefit from acquisition of the Bruker BioSpec 3T MRI system. Our projects encompass a wide range of fields and research, including radiology, orthopaedics, rheumatology, bioengineering, endocrinology, neurology, psychiatry, pulmonology, cardiology, gastroenterology, nephrology, urology, and surgery. The acquisition of a small animal MRI imaging system will not only impact basic pre-clinical research at VASDHS, but is also expected to have a strong and positive effect through improvement of patient clinical care and supporting the VA healthcare mission.
