ShEEP Request for Bruker BioSpec 3T MRI System

在体内对小动物进行纵向磁共振成像（MRI）的能力将 对VA支持的大量基础、转化和临床前项目产生了重大而积极的影响 目前在VA San Diego进行的与退伍军人医疗保健相关的生物医学/行为研究 保健系统（VASDHS）。我们是一个由20多名目前获得VA优异奖资助的调查人员组成的团队 该公司将直接受益于收购布鲁克BioSpec 3 T MRI系统。我们的项目涵盖广泛的 一系列的领域和研究，包括放射学，骨科，风湿病学，生物工程，内分泌学， 神经病学、精神病学、肺病学、心脏病学、胃肠病学、肾病学、泌尿学和外科学。的 小动物MRI成像系统的获得不仅会影响VASDHS的基础临床前研究， 而且还期望通过改善患者临床护理而具有强有力的积极效果， 支持退伍军人医疗使命。

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.
