Description
The National Institute of Mental Health is seeking a 7T MRI Upgraded Gradient Coil to replace the current coil that is performing suboptimally. The new coil must meet specific requirements, including being mechanically compatible with the Bruker 7T/30 cm magnet, having a clear bore diameter greater than 17 cm, and meeting minimum gradient strength and slew rate requirements. The coil will be used for high-resolution imaging of marmoset brains and is essential for continuing studies across multiple Institutes.
• The coil must be compatible with the Fujifilm/PCI gradient amplifier and the current 6-channel shim power supply.
• The coil must integrate fully with the current equipment and operate stably and reliably.
• The coil must meet minimum gradient strength and slew rate requirements.
• The coil must exhibit negligible eddy current effects to avoid artifacts in functional and diffusion-weighted imaging.
