The University of Pennsylvania received $1,264,944 in federal funding awarded July 15, 2026, through the National Institutes of Health Office of the Director under the Research Infrastructure Programs (CFDA 93.351) to upgrade its 7-Tesla (7T) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system to the TERRA-X platform. The upgrade enhances the existing Siemens whole-body 7T MRI scanner at the institution's Center for Advanced Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Spectroscopy (CAMRIS) with advanced hardware and software capabilities, including AI-powered deep learning technology (Deep Resolve), parallel transmit array enhancements, online motion correction, dynamic parallel transmit functionality, and improved gradient strength. These technical improvements address limitations encountered at high-field MRI operations, including inhomogeneous radiofrequency fields and shortened tissue relaxation times, enabling higher-quality imaging with improved workflow efficiency and signal-to-noise ratios per unit scan time. The upgraded 7T MRI system supports ongoing multidisciplinary research across multiple National Institutes of Health-funded grants at the University of Pennsylvania, spanning brain imaging, neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders, mitochondrial metabolism, cancer detection, and cardiovascular disease research. The instrument operates as a shared research resource overseen by CAMRIS's Executive Committee, with a completion date of July 14, 2027.Federal Project Grant Award Summary
