Supply, Delivery and Installation of an Ultra-Low Noise Digital 3T MRI Solution for Trinity College Dublin (TCD)

Education Procurement Service (EPS)

Tenders are sought for the Supply of Ultra Low Noise Digital 3T MRI for MRI of the brain and other body parts. A state-of-the-art MRI scanner is required by academic, clinical and industrial users across Ireland, and partners across Europe and the world. The future of neuro-imaging is in large-scale collaboration. To participate in H2020 and other consortia, a scanner capable of the international standard is essential. Several critical subject groups will only lay still for a limited period in the MRI scanner, high measurement sensitivity and patient comfort are necessary. To facilitate cutting-edge research, we would like a strong collaborative relationship with the manufacturer, including early access to new features and sequences from the manufacturer and from other research sites, particularly those studying the brain.
