II.1.3) Type of contract

Supplies

II.1.4) Short description

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an ultrasound imaging system to image small preclinical disease models with high frame rates to accurately image small mobile structures with fast frequency cyclic changes. The equipment will be used for echocardiography and imaging of tissue structures and blood flow.

The workstation should perform image acquisition, data storage and in-line as well as off-line data analysis to derive functional parameters. It should allow for a future upgrade of the setup, both in terms of hardware (especially transducers) and software.

II.2.4) Description of the procurement

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply of an ultrasound imaging system to image small preclinical disease models with high frame rates to accurately image small mobile structures with fast frequency cyclic changes. The equipment will be used for echocardiography and imaging of tissue structure and fluid (blood) flow, also in other organs.

General characteristics

A workstation needs to fit the footprint of the existing, obsolete system (VisualSonics, Vevo 2100). This equipment will be traded in as part of the purchase.

It will be a stand-alone system.

Specification

i. Imaging station

1) Capabilities for carrying out ultrasound imaging in small preclinical models in the Biomedical Services Unit

2) Capabilities for using high frequency ultrasound (>40 MHz) to image small structures (approx. 1 - 10 mm) dynamically at high resolution in vivo, with the ability to upgrade to higher frequencies (~ 70 MHz)

3) Visualization of images in real time on screen

4) Ability to monitor physiological parameters (ECG, respiratory rate, core temperature)

5) Possibility to move platform around easily

6) Customizable touch screen controls during the image acquisition

7) Ability to attach more than one transducer to the system at a time to allow for quick change between analysis programmes

ii. Data analysis

8) Software platform that allows for on-line and off-line data analysis, with ability to upgrade to multiple users; compatible with Windows laptops and PC used as standard at the University of Birmingham

9) Ability to store and back up data on hard drives and file servers

10) Ability to gate for ECG and respiratory motion in echocardiography, hence to provide 3D info on highly dynamic small structures, with ability to reconstruct volumes at framerates 100-300 fps

11) Ability to visualize fluid (blood) flow via Doppler ultrasound with information of directionality of flow

12) Ability to analyze tissue function through strain analyses

13) Ability to perform M- and B-mode analysis as well as AM-mode analysis for customizable angle dependent measurements

14) Ability to analyze blood vessels with vascular strain tools, for stiffness and anatomical composition

15) Ability to derive left ventricular functional parameters (e.g. Cardiac Output, Stroke Volume, Ejection Fraction from image recordings in automated form

16) EKV (ECG-gated Kilohertz Visualisation) mode enabled to reach optimal frame-rate processing for fast moving structures during B-mode analysis

iii. Options for future upgrade

17) Ability to add other transducers for higher resolution or better image depth

18) Ability to add software packages for oncology

19) Ability to add contrast imaging option
