Project Summary/Abstract We request funds to upgrade the console of the wide-bore 600MHz MR spectrometer and micro-imager, located in the Athinoula A. Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging at Massachusetts General Hospital. The current system acquired in 2003 with funds from an NIH SIG award and institutional support has been an essential component of a regional shared resource for pre-clinical medical imaging, and has contributed tremendously to the scientific discoveries and technological innovations of the Martinos Center and local investigators. However, after more than a decade in service, the current system is outdated. It is not only incompatible with the manufacturer's newly developed features and methods for cutting-edge MR spectroscopy and micro-imaging, but most dreadfully, the manufacturer has ceased to provide services on this vintage instrument due to the evolution of technologies and the lack of outdated replacement parts. To continue and enhance its integrated contributions to the Martinos Center's dual mission of imaging technology development and bench-to-bedside translation, this 600MHz system is in critical and urgent need of an upgrade. We request funds to upgrade the console, including its hardware and software, and necessary accompanying components, and will use its still functioning parts (magnet and NMR probes, etc.). Through this proposed upgrade, the system, with its high-field, high-resolution, multi-nucleus MR spectroscopy and micro- imaging capacities, and state-of-the-art techniques, will greatly benefit the NIH-funded projects proposed by the diverse user group, including 17 projects from 12 Major Users and 5 Minor Users. The proposed upgrade through this SIG has been supported by all levels of institutional administration, from the MGH leadership, to the Radiology Department, and the Martinos Center. This support covers every aspect related to the upgrade and its future operations, including allocation of instrument space and assistance for installation, operational support in terms of system scheduling, accounting, and maintenance, guarantees from the leaderships to supply additional funds, if necessary, for unexpected shortfalls, and lastly but most significantly, a commitment of up to $225,000 to cover the gap between the NIH SIG award and the purchasing price for the upgrade, in addition to the committed fund of $100,000 from the MGH Executive Committee for Research towards the maintenance of the system. Following the upgrade, the 600MHz MR spectrometer and micro-imager with the capability of temperature control (-80°C to 200°C), managed by the Martinos Center as a shared core, will be available to the broader research community, both within MGH and the Greater Boston region. The PI and Advisory Committee will ensure equitable and cost-effective operation of the system to achieve its essential role in driving new discoveries pertaining to a host of medically related issues covering the fields of radiology, pathology, cardiology, and surgery, and subjects including brain mapping, neurochemistry, photomedicine, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.

项目概要/摘要 我们请求资金升级宽口径 600MHz 磁共振波谱仪和微型成像仪的控制台， 位于马萨诸塞州总医院的 Athinoula A. Martinos 生物医学成像中心。 当前的系统于 2003 年获得，资金来自 NIH SIG 奖项和机构支持， 临床前医学成像区域共享资源的重要组成部分，并做出了贡献 极大地促进了马蒂诺斯中心和当地的科学发现和技术创新 然而，经过十多年的使用，当前的系统不仅已经过时。 与制造商新开发的尖端 MR 功能和方法不兼容 光谱学和显微成像，但最可怕的是，制造商已停止提供这方面的服务 由于技术的发展和缺乏过时的替换零件而成为老式乐器。 继续并加强对马蒂诺斯中心成像双重使命的综合贡献 技术开发和临床转化，这个 600MHz 系统迫切需要 我们请求资金来升级控制台，包括其硬件和软件，以及必要的。 随附的组件，并将通过此使用其仍在运行的部件（磁铁和核磁共振探头等）。 建议升级，该系统具有高场、高分辨率、多核磁共振波谱和微 成像能力和最先进的技术将大大有利于 NIH 资助的项目 多元化的用户群体，包括来自 12 个主要用户和 5 个次要用户的 17 个项目。 通过该 SIG 提出的升级得到了各级机构管理部门的支持， 从 MGH 领导层到放射科和 Martinos 中心，这种支持涵盖了方方面面。 与升级及其未来运营相关的方面，包括仪器空间的分配和援助 安装、系统调度、会计和维护方面的运营支持、保证 如有必要，领导层提供额外资金，以弥补意外的短缺，最后但也是最重要的 值得注意的是，承诺提供高达 225,000 美元的资金来弥补 NIH SIG 奖励与采购之间的差距 除了 MGH 执行委员会承诺的 100,000 美元资金之外，还需支付升级费用 升级后的系统维护研究，600MHz 磁共振波谱仪和 具有温度控制能力（-80°C 至 200°C）的微型成像仪，由 Martinos 中心作为 共享核心，将可供麻省总医院和大波士顿地区更广泛的研究界使用 PI 和咨询委员会将确保该系统的公平且具有成本效益的运行。 在推动涉及一系列医学相关问题的新发现方面发挥重要作用 放射学、病理学、心脏病学和外科领域，以及脑图谱、神经化学、 光医学、心血管疾病和癌症。
