Discounted Scanning Application

Version 2018-11-20

  1. Proposals for discounted scanning will be considered by the MRI Management Committee (MRI-MC) for the following:

  2. Type

    Additional criteria used by committee 

    Cost per participant 

    Pilot projects

    Will lead to a grant application that will pay for future MRI projects.

    Free

    Technology development

    Will create methods that will be shared with all other users and enhance our science.

    Free

    Training

    A primary goal of the project is training (e.g., Masters projects)

    3T scanner - €100/hour 

    7T scanner - €50/hour 



  3. Incidental findings fee. According to TCIN SOPs, all participants will also have their scans read by a neurologist for incidental findings (unless they have had their MRI scan at TCIN read within the previous 6 months). This costs €50/participant, which will still have to be covered in all cases.

  4. End of project report. At the end of your project - or within 1 year of the approval from the MRI-MC (whichever is sooner), you must give a 15 minute presentation to the Imaging Interest Group, describing the outcomes of your project, and submit an end of project form to the MRI-MC. 

  5. To apply, you must:

    • Give a 15 minute presentation describing your project, followed by 5-10 minutes discussion, to the Imaging Interest Group
    • Fill in the Discounted Scanning Proposal form.

  6. To evaluate a proposal, the MRI MC will assess how busy the scanner is, how many previous discounts a PI has received, and the expected value of the outcomes.
