Scan time
Application
All requests for access to the 3T Scanner must be first be examined by our Operations committee.
Complete our online application for research scan time on the ACH 3T at the SFMRC website. The online form can only be accessed remotely after connecting to the University of Calgary VPN. From ACH, access does not require VPN.
Please refer to the CAIR Handbook for guidance on study planning, e.g. scan session duration and consent form language.
The scan time application can be made in parallel with the ethics application. After scan time and ethics approval, a copy of the ethics approval letter should be sent to the DI Director, Ken Dunstall.
Pilot Time
A very limited amount of funding is available to conduct pilot scans for grant submission; please indicate if you wish to apply for this on the Application for 3T Research Time.
This time is used for the purposes of establishing new studies when a PI does not have access to other sources of funding.
Pilot time, if/when approved, should be booked through the online booking calendar, Calpendo. In the case of human volunteers, proper ethics approval must be in place prior to scanning.
