MRI Safety

For those utilizing MRI as part of their study, it is always good practice to screen potential study candidates for any exclusions prior to the day of the scan. We have put together a list of suggested questions and items to inquire about for those who would like guidance on how to screen for MRI, as well as a copy of our MRI screening form that needs to be filled out the day of the scan:

HBIC MRI Safety Screening Form (PDF)

This form should be given to each participant physically or by email, for every study visit. The form includes the study name, participant study ID, and coordinator email and phone. This allows us to ensure that the right participant is triaged appropriately for the right study in case they are lost, delayed, or too early.

If you have any questions or concerns after doing the screening, one of our MRI Technologists can assist you.
