## Summary

Cardiff University is seeking to procure a motion-tracking system for advanced research applications in MRI, aimed at enhancing the monitoring of head position during MRI scans. The procurement falls under the goods category, specifically imaging equipment for medical use, and has been awarded to Tracinnovations Aps. The contract was signed on 31 January 2018 and is currently active, reflecting Cardiff University's commitment to improving research capabilities. Interested businesses should note that the procurement process was initiated through a tender, indicating a structured approach to sourcing suitable solutions.

This opportunity presents significant growth potential for businesses specialising in advanced medical imaging technology and optical instruments. Companies that can provide innovative head motion-tracking devices, particularly those capable of integrating with Siemens Prisma 3T MRI scanner systems, will find themselves well-positioned to compete. Firms engaged in supplying specialist optical instruments and those with a strong emphasis on R&D in medical technology may benefit tremendously from this market engagement.

## Notice

We require a head motion-tracking device that will enable the position of the subject's head to be monitored with high temporal and spatial resolution during an MRI scan, and capable of interfacing with the Siemens Prisma 3T MRI scanner hardware to enable real-time updates of the scanner coordinate system to reduce the undesired image artifacts associated with this motion
