Version 11-30-2016-1 FAR Part 11—Describing Agency Needs

PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

1. Statement of Need and Purpose: The proposed contract covers the purchase of upgrade packages that will allow our new Philips 3T Ingenia Omega MRI scanner to acquire images in less time, decreasing the duration in which participants must hold still.

2. Background Information and Objective: NIA recently replaced its Philips 3T Achieva MRI scanner at Harbor Hospital in Baltimore, MD with a Philips 3T Ingenia Omega scanner. On the Ingenia MRI, scan times may be dramatically shortened for certain sequences if two new upgrade packages are installed:

Multiband SENSE for simultaneous excitation and acquisition of multiple slices in 2D experiments

Compressed SENSE for rapid acquisition of sparse, incomplete k-space data followed by reconstruction using compressed sensing algorithms

3. Generic Name of Product: Hardware and software upgrades for 3 Tesla clinical MRI scanner

4. Purchase Description: Philips 3T Ingenia Omega MRI Scanner Upgrade

5. Salient characteristics:

Software compatibility with releases R5.6 and R5.7.1 of Philips’ MRI acquisition and processing software

Hardware compatibility with Philips 3T Ingenia MRI scanner

FDA certification for scanning human subjects using Philips 3T Ingenia MRI scanner following installation of proposed upgrades

Enables Philips 3T MRI Ingenia MRI scanner to acquire multi-slice 2D data by simultaneous excitation of slices with SENSE reconstruction

Enables Philips 3T MRI Ingenia MRI scanner to acquire sparse, incomplete k-space data then reconstruct images using compressed sensing algorithms
