The National Institutes of Health (NIH) awarded the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota a $2,000,000 Project Grant under the NIH Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to acquire a state-of-the-art 7T preclinical magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. This specialized MRI system, the Bruker BioSpec 70/20, will significantly enhance Mayo Clinic's research capabilities by enabling advanced imaging techniques critical for studies in neuroscience, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other biomedical disciplines. The flexible system configuration can accommodate a range of small animal models, from zebrafish to adult rats, supporting the clinic's multidisciplinary research programs. The high-performance gradient system and 16-channel receiver will facilitate sophisticated quantitative imaging approaches, including diffusion tensor imaging, arterial spin labeling, and advanced cardiac imaging. This investment is expected to advance the clinic's understanding of disease mechanisms and therapeutic responses at a microstructural level, ultimately bridging the gap between preclinical findings and clinical applications. The award is effective from April 1, 2025 through March 31, 2026.
