Background: � Purpose and Objectives: The purpose of this acquisition is to procure an MRI-compatible Video Monitoring System� and display in the magnet room of our new Siemens 7 Tesla MRI scanner. To minimize electromagnetic interference (EMI), which causes artifacts in MR images, the magnet room has no window. Therefore, specialized video equipment is needed to observe the person undergoing scanning as well as activity in the magnet room as a whole. Description: The Contractor shall provide the Government with the following: Must provide real-time video monitoring of human subjects undergoing MRI scanning inside the magnet room of a Siemens 7 Tesla Magnetom Terra X MRI. All equipment in the magnet room must be free of ferromagnetic components and/or firmly attached to the magnet room walls or ceiling for magnetic safety. All equipment in the magnet room must transmit and receive video signals via fiber optic cables in order to avoid transmitting or receiving electromagnetic interference (EMI) associated with the operation of the MRI scanner. Power for all equipment in the magnet room must be pass through low-pass filters in one of the magnet room�s penetration panels in order to avoid transmitting or receiving EMI associated with the operation of the MRI scanner. All video camera equipment must be EMI-shielded and certified to generate noise power at frequencies of 300 MHz and below not exceeding -120 dBm. A minimum of two video cameras must be installed inside the magnet room: one narrow-focus camera observing the participant�s body from the front of the magnet and one wide-angle camera observing the magnet room as a whole from the front of the room. A dome video camera installed in the MRI control room must be provided to monitor and document activity by operators of the scanner. All video cameras inside the magnet room must utilize CCD technology to avoid distortion by the fringe field of the MRI magnet. All video cameras should be connected to a digital video recorder (DVR) to document experiments for quality control and training purposes. The DVR should have at least 8 channels: three dedicated to the three video cameras plus extra ports for recording video from the MRI console and physiological monitoring computers. The DVR must be accessible remotely via the Internet using a secure connection so that activity in the magnet room can be observed by the Facility Manager from his office. Windows-compatible software must be provided for real-time remote monitoring of all cameras. Real-time video from any camera should be displayed on a wall-mounted flat panel display of diagonal size at least 40�.
