This notice is strictly for research and information purposes only. Background: The Siemens TRIO 3T Scanner has been the major equipment for the fMRI program at the NIDA-IRP. The scanner has been used to access system-level brain structures and functions in humans and non-human primates through non-invasive means, which has led to important findings concerning fundamental brain functions and neurobiological mechanisms of drug addiction. The current scanner, however, has fallen behind state-of-the-art technical capabilities since its installation in 2009. This acquisition will substantively improve the capabilities of the current scanner including higher signal-to-noise speed, faster imaging speed, and higher spatial resolution. Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to upgrade the hardware and software of the currently existing Siemens TRIO 3T Scanner to a Magnetom Prisma 3T MRI Scanner. Project requirements: 1Prisma fit Upgrade - including: -XR 80/200 gradient system -higher order shim, delivering a 5A/channel - parallel transmit - total imaging matrix in the generation -digital in/digital out design -dual density signal transfer -Radio-frequency (RF) coils -Day optimizing throughput display, control centers, and brain engine -application suite for whole body imaging of all systems 1Keyboard 1204 x 64 High-end Imager with 16 independent RF receiver channels (making the 4G 48-channel base 204x64) 1Table that can support up to 550lbs without restricting vertical or horizontal movement. 1Advanced diffusion package with readout-segmented EPI sequence and noise reduction sequence 115 channel knee coil 164 channel head/neck coil 132 channel head coil 1Separation cabinet (60kW) 1UPS Cable (9m) 1UPS Powerware to safeguard computers (230VAC, 3.0kVA/2.7kW) and bridge time: 5min full load/14min half load 1UPS Battery module- closed/maintenance-free, provides 24min extension of the bridge time 1Additional Manual set 1Installation kit for fixed table 1Onsite training Anticipated period of performance : February 15, 2017 through February 18, 2018 •Begin production on February 15, 2017 •Installation to begin by June 7, 2017 •Fully operational by July 1, 2017 Other important considerations: The aforementioned timeline is critical due to participant recruitment, enrollment, and data analysis of ongoing clinical studies.
