Description

The Department of Pediatrics within the University of Alberta (University) has been approved for a Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) grant, and is seeking to find what technologies are currently in the market for a 3T Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography (PET) Research Scanner for Small Animals.

This system will enable the ability to measure parameters that are predicative of changes in heart structure, function, and are characteristics of heart failure.

In addition to the MRI, the imaging modality of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) may detect changes in glucose or lipid metabolism and myocardial perfusion, which occurs relatively early in the pathogenesis of heart failure.

The intent for this Request for Information (RFI) is to obtain budgetary figures and gather data on market availability.
