DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The purpose of this proposal is to facilitate the purchase of a 3T MRI scanner for basic and applied research at The University of Chicago (U of C). This state-of-the-art MRI scanner will provide significant improvements over our current equipment in signal-to-noise ratio, imaging speed, and spatial resolution, and will add whole body imaging capability. This research-dedicated scanner is critical and urgently needed for maintaining the high quality of biomedical research at the U of C. The 3T MRI scanner will be utilized as a University-wide resource as part of an Imaging Core Facility housed within the Biological Science Division of the U of C. Space and substantial infrastructure for operations and technical support for the 3T MRI scanner are already in place. The total cost for purchasing, renovation of the space, and installation of a 3T MRI scanner is approximately $3.67M. Besides the requested $2M from this proposal, the Dean of the Division of Biological Sciences and the Pritzker School of Medicine has committed the funds to cover the remaining cost associated with this purchase. The mission of our Imaging Core is to promote the development and synergistic application of non- invasive imaging techniques to a broad range of medical research disciplines. The organization, staffing, equipment procurement, and operational funding of the Imaging Core are all designed to assure the success of this mission. Presently, the Imaging Core supports a total of 20 active NIH projects (1 PO1, 1 P50, 14 RO1, and 4 R21) that total ~ $39M. All these projects extensively utilize magnetic resonance imaging. In addition, more imaging research NIH RO1 and other grant proposals are pending. This state-of-the-art MRI scanner will provide the latest 3T technology that is essential for successfully performing and expanding NIH-funded cutting-edge imaging research programs at our institution.

描述（由申请人提供）：本提案的目的是促进芝加哥大学（U的U of C）购买3T MRI扫描仪进行基础和应用研究。这种最先进的MRI扫描仪将以信号噪声比率，成像速度和空间分辨率对我们当前的设备进行重大改进，并将增加全身成像能力。这项研究的扫描仪至关重要且迫切需要用于维持C的高质量生物医学研究。3TMRI扫描仪将被用作大学范围内的资源，作为C.空间U的生物学科学生物科学部门内部的成像核心设施的一部分，并为3T MRI Scanner in 3t MRI Scanner ins Place提供了核心和实质性基础设施。购买，翻新空间的总成本以及3T MRI扫描仪的安装约为367万美元。除了该提案中要求的200万美元外，生物科学系和普里兹克医学院的院长已承诺这些资金来支付与此次购买相关的剩余费用。我们成像核心的使命是促进非侵入性成像技术在广泛的医学研究学科中的发展和协同应用。成像核心的组织，人员配备，设备采购和运营资金均旨在确保此任务的成功。目前，成像核心总共支持20个活跃的NIH项目（1个PO1、1 P50、14 RO1和4 R21），总计约3900万美元。所有这些项目广泛利用磁共振成像。此外，更多的成像研究NIH RO1和其他赠款提案正在等待。这款最先进的MRI扫描仪将提供最新的3T技术，这对于在我们机构成功执行和扩展NIH资助的尖端成像研究计划至关重要。
