Description

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.

Lot Division

1 Main Magnet, Gradient coils, Shim Correction coils and Environmental Correction coils

A whole-body electromagnet, a three-axis gradient system, a set of correction coils (‘shims’) to improve the homogeneity of the main magnet, and a set of environmental correction coils to compensate for external magnetic fields (including Earth’s field). Further detail available in Invitation To Tender documentation.

Award Criteria
Communication During Equipment Manufacture 5.0
Ability To Service Equipment and Technical Support 10.0
Performance and Technical Merit of Equipment 47.0
Documentation 8.0
PRICE 30.0
2 Power Supplies and current amplifier for the Main Magnet system

Three power current amplifiers that will each drive one segment of the main magnet. It is important to consider that the three magnet segments are tightly coupled and act as 1:1 transformers. Further detail in the Invitation To Tender Documentation.
