Finland – Magnetic resonance scanners – Upgrade of existing MRI/fMRI system

- high-end research-level 3-tesla system for smooth and user-friendly operation, providing improvements in the current system (Siemens MAGNETOM Skyra) with at least the following new features: - update of the system to cover at least 64 RF channels - high-end image reconstruction computers - AI/intelligent methods in image reconstruction - dual monitors for the acquisition workplace - advanced host computer - possibility to use 3rd party algorithms in image reconstruction - possibility to connect 3rd party devices for receiving images (real-time) and controlling the MR exam measurements - new 64-channel head-neck coil (open design for enabling simultaneous EEG-measurements) - modern flexible coils (2x large and 1x small) - new 18-channel body coil - dockable/movable table, coil storage cart, and vacuum cushions for subject/patient positioning - existing RF coils at ANI must be functional or replaced with equivalents so that they work with the upgraded system (head, body, flex, and loop coils) - optical to electrical trigger converter (for e.g. fMRI purposes) - possible required RF-shielded room modifications during installation as well as new LED-lights that replace the old halogen-based lighting system of the room - must be installed using the existing doorways to the RF-shielded room
