DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This shared instrumentation proposal request funds to support the upgrade of the 7T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnet at the UCSD Center for Functional MRI (CFMRI). In specific, because performance issues with the current magnet have severely impacted the progress of over 20 currently funded NIH studies; we propose to acquire a modern and reliable magnet for use with our existing Bruker Avance II MRI console. The purchase of the 7 Tesla magnets is critical to a wide range of NIH-funded projects being performed at UCSD and its neighboring institutions, covering a diverse set of research areas, including studies of alcoholism, pulmonary disease, and cancer. Public Health Relevance: The proposed acquisition of the magnet is necessary to support ongoing NIH-funded studies that are focused on (1) developing new imaging methods for the diagnosis of disease and (2) achieving an understanding of the basic mechanisms underlying health and disease. These studies are likely to result in the improved diagnosis and treatment of a number of health conditions, such as alcoholism, cancer, and heart disease.

描述（由申请人提供）：此共享仪器提案要求资金支持UCSD功能MRI中心（CFMRI）的7T磁共振成像（MRI）磁铁的升级。在具体而言，因为当前磁铁的性能问题严重影响了20多个当前资助的NIH研究的进展；我们建议购买现代可靠的磁铁，以与我们现有的Bruker Avance II MRI控制台一起使用。购买7台特斯拉磁铁对于在UCSD及其邻近机构进行的多种NIH资助的项目至关重要，涵盖了包括酒精中毒，肺部疾病和癌症的各种研究领域。 公共卫生相关性：拟议的对磁铁的收购是为了支持正在进行的NIH资助的研究，该研究的重点是（1）开发诊断疾病的新成像方法以及（2）了解健康和疾病的基本机制。这些研究可能会改善对许多健康状况（例如酒精中毒，癌症和心脏病）的诊断和治疗。
