      4. Short description:
         

         To ensure scientific and technical program for several long-term research programs, it is vital that we retain MRI scanner with several imaging tools that are only provided by Siemens Healthcare. To retain a scanner that has a cutting edge for clinical research, software / hardware needs to be improved to meet current requirements. Replacing the entire system would also result in 12+ weeks of scanner downtime, a substantial disruption to our clinical and scientific programs. Therefore, upgrading the current scanner is not only massively cost effective, it will prevent significant downtime for the centre, and ensure continuity of our research program. Therefore from a technical perspective, the only supplier able to facilitate our requirements for an upgrade whilst maintaining our current technical ability is Siemens Healthcare.
