General information for participants
This general information form contains information for patients/participants about the MRI environment, how to prepare for a session and how to come to BRIC. Please add your contact information at the end of the form before sending it to your participants!
Pre-screen participants
The radiographers or MR operators will screen your participants for safety on the day of scanning. However, to decrease the rejection rate on the day of scanning, researchers should pre-screen their participants. To do so, researchers can send the safety questionnaire to the prospective participant and ask them to fill it. If the participant answers ‘yes’ to any of the exclusion question, the researcher should make sure the participant is confortable about discussing their answer before asking for more details. In case of doubt, please contact the MRI lab heads.
