Pre-screen participants
Researchers should pre-screen participants to decrease the rejection rate on the day of scanning. 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. The participant will go through the form again on the day of scanning with the responsible MRI operator.
