Section two: Object
two.1) Scope of the procurement
two.1.1) Title
WHOLE-BODY FAST FIELD-CYCLING MAGNET, GRADIENT AND SHIM ASSEMBLY, WITH THE CORRESPONDING CURRENT AMPLIFIERS
Reference number
AU20/31
two.1.2) Main CPV code
- 33100000 - Medical equipments
two.1.3) Type of contract
Supplies
two.1.4) Short description
AWARD NOTICE - The University of Aberdeen is leading the research and development efforts of Fast Field-Cycling imaging (FFC imaging). This is a new technology that derives from MRI but allows controlling the main magnetic field, contrary to conventional scanners that operate at a fixed magnetic field strength. To achieve such a level of control the main magnet must be carefully designed to exhibit a low inductance so that it can be driven to alter its field strength within 10 to 20 ms (ramp time), using gradient-type power supplies.
