The purpose of this application is to secure funding to purchase a Kubtec XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system for use by multiple investigators with different research disciplines including neural, muscle, and bone biology, collectively called neuromusculoskeletal biology, at the Richard L. Roudebush VA Medical Center (RLR VAMC) at Indianapolis. Neuromusculoskeletal disorders are highly VA-related medical problems, and are urgently unmet medical needs. At the RLR VAMC in Indianapolis, strong interactions and collaborations have been established among multiple investigators with expertise in neuromusculoskeletal disorders. With the purchase of the XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system, which can be used by VA investigators of different disciplines, such collaborations could be further enhanced. The XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system that we request combines high contrast digital detectors with user-friendly image analysis software tools to provide images which can be measured to precisely obtain information of interest such as bone resorption/degradation at the joint or within the marrow cavity, bone healing, precision of implant placement, etc. In this application, two specific aims are proposed. In Aim 1, we describe the purchase and maintenance plan of the Kubtec XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system for use by dedicated VA researchers. We have obtained a quotation from KUB Technologies Inc. for the XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system. We further discuss the management plan of the XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system. In Aim 2, we discuss the enhancement of the quality of science and promotion of collaboration among dedicated VA researchers. Over the course of the past 8 years, we have established a strong and dynamic Neuromusculoskeletal research program (NMS) in the Research & Development Service. The XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system represents state-of-the art X- ray and image analysis technology that can be used for a number of neural, muscular, skeletal, and cancer- related projects. As such, potential acquisition of this system would enhance the current imaging capabilities of our core facilities and allow expansion of collaborative VA-related research projects. There is currently no X- ray system with the capabilities of the XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system at the VA or anywhere on the Indiana University School of Medicine (IUSM) campus. Our overall objective with the acquisition of the XPERT 80 shielded cabinet X-ray system is to create new collaborations at RLR VAMC that lead to innovative solutions for health problems facing our veterans. To reach our goal, we have formed a team of 16 investigators, with appointments as Research Scientists, Research Career Scientists, Senior Research Career Scientist, and even new promising investigators with Without Compensation appointments (WOC). Having this state-of-the-art X-ray system will certainly open up new avenues of research and collaboration at RLR VAMC that would not be possible without it.

此应用程序的目的是确保购买Kubtec Xpert 80屏蔽柜X射线的资金 多个研究人员使用不同研究学科的系统，包括神经，肌肉和骨骼 Richard L. Roudebush VA医疗中心的生物学，统称为Neuromusculoskeletail Biology （RLR VAMC）在印第安纳波利斯。神经肌肉骨骼疾病是高度与VA相关的医学问题，并且是 迫切无法满足的医疗需求。在印第安纳波利斯的RLR VAMC上，强大的互动和合作有 在多个具有神经肌肉骨骼疾病专业知识的研究人员中建立。与 购买XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统，可以由VA的调查员使用。 学科，这些合作可以进一步增强。 XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统 我们要求将高对比度的数字探测器与用户友好的图像分析软件工具相结合以提供 可以衡量以精确获取感兴趣的信息的图像，例如骨吸收/降解 在关节或骨髓腔内，骨骼修复，植入物放置的精度等。在此应用中， 提出了两个具体目标。在AIM 1中，我们描述了Kubtec的购买和维护计划 XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统用于专用VA研究人员。我们已经获得了报价 来自Kub Technologies Inc.的XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统。我们进一步讨论 XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统的管理计划。在AIM 2中，我们讨论了增强 专门的VA研究人员之间的科学质量和促进合作的质量。在整个过程中 在过去的8年中，我们建立了一个强大而动态的神经肌肉骨骼研究计划（NMS） 研发服务。 XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统代表最先进的X- 射线和图像分析技术可用于许多神经，肌肉，骨骼和癌症 相关项目。因此，该系统的潜在获取将增强当前的成像功能 我们的核心设施，并允许扩大与VA相关的协作研究项目。目前没有X- 射线系统具有XPERT 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统的功能 印第安纳大学医学院（IUSM）校园。我们通过XPERT获得的整体目标 80屏蔽机柜X射线系统将在RLR VAMC上创建新的合作，从而导致创新 解决退伍军人面临的健康问题的解决方案。为了实现我们的目标，我们组成了一个由16人组成的团队 研究人员，任命研究科学家，研究职业科学家，高级研究职业 科学家，甚至没有赔偿任命的新的有前途的调查员（WOC）。有这个 最先进的X射线系统肯定会在RLR VAMC开放研究与协作的新途径 没有它是不可能的。
