DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This program aims to demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing a realistic Point-Of-Care MRI scanner with a novel architecture specifically designed for imaging the human head and C- spine. The innovative MRI platform is made possible by our unique capabilities in MRI system integration, superconducting magnet design, superconducting wire technology, and pragmatic approaches to cryogenic engineering. The scanner would be based on a 1.5 T (or higher) high homogeneity magnet that would be a superconducting, cryogen-free, persistent mode, and self- shielded device. The scanner would use specifically designed advanced gradient and RF coils, and a console constructed from commercially available components, (those to be demonstrated in Phase II). Demonstrations of the intended Point-Of-Care MRI scanner opens the door to a new era in neurological imaging by offering an application-specific MRI magnet system with: low manufacturing cost, low operational cost, easy installation, and good ergonomics for the patient and technologists. The goals of the program are well in line with the NIH/NIBIB goals related to the development of Point-of-Care Technologies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This program aims to demonstrate the feasibility of manufacturing a realistic Point-Of-Care MRI scanner with a novel architecture specifically designed for imaging the human head and C- spine. Demonstrations of the optimized MRI scanner opens the door to a new era in application-specific neurological imaging magnet systems. It is specifically addressed at the major areas of public health: stroke and trauma. The goals of the program are well in line with the NIH/NIBIB goals related to the development of Point-of-Care Technologies.

描述（由申请人提供）：该项目旨在展示制造真实的床旁 MRI 扫描仪的可行性，该扫描仪具有专门为人体头部和 C 脊柱成像而设计的新颖架构。我们在 MRI 系统集成、超导磁体设计、超导线技术和实用的低温工程方法方面的独特能力使创新的 MRI 平台成为可能。该扫描仪将基于 1.5 T（或更高）的高均匀性磁体，该磁体将是超导、无冷冻剂、持久模式和自屏蔽设备。该扫描仪将使用专门设计的先进梯度和射频线圈，以及由商用组件构建的控制台（这些组件将在第二阶段进行演示）。预期的床旁 MRI 扫描仪的演示通过提供特定于应用的 MRI 磁体系统打开了神经成像新时代的大门，该系统具有以下特点：制造成本低、运营成本低、安装方便以及对患者和患者而言良好的人体工程学设计技术人员。该计划的目标与 NIH/NIBIB 与床旁护理技术开发相关的目标非常一致。公共健康相关性：该计划旨在展示制造逼真的床边 MRI 扫描仪的可行性，该扫描仪具有专门为人体头部和 C 脊柱成像而设计的新颖架构。优化的 MRI 扫描仪的演示为专用神经成像磁体系统的新时代打开了大门。它专门针对公共卫生的主要领域：中风和创伤。该计划的目标与 NIH/NIBIB 与床旁护理技术开发相关的目标非常一致。
