DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This application seeks funding to upgrade our 3 Tesla whole body research MRI scanner which is currently fully utilized by projects relying on in vivo magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy at Emory University. The 3 Tesla scanner targeted for the requested upgrade is a 10-year-old Siemens Trio and is no longer state-of-the-art, particularly in terms of its multichannel receiving capability and associated RF coil. The upgrade is critically needed for us to provide the state-of-the-art in vivo imaging and spectroscopy capabilities, particularly for achieving the best data acquisition speed and data quality. In addition, the upgrade will provide us with latest sequences and software tools available from the vendor to maximize the usage of the scanner. Overall, the upgrade will significantly enhance Emory's federally funded research projects currently conducted on the scanner by 7 major users and a dozen minor users.

描述（由申请人提供）：本申请寻求资金来升级我们的3个特斯拉全身研究MRI扫描仪，目前，该扫描仪目前已通过依赖于埃默里大学的体内磁共振成像和光谱的项目充分利用。该要求升级的3个特斯拉扫描仪是10岁的西门子三人组，不再是最新的，尤其是在其多渠道接收能力和相关的RF线圈方面。对于我们来说，升级至关重要，以提供最先进的体内成像和光谱能力，尤其是为了实现最佳的数据采集速度和数据质量。此外，升级将为我们提供供应商可用的最新序列和软件工具，以最大程度地利用扫描仪。总体而言，该升级将大大增强埃默里（Emory）目前由7个主要用户和十几个未成年人使用的联邦资助的研究项目。
