How do I apply for a new MRI or PET-MR imaging study on the GE SIGNA PET-MRI scanner?
-
Fill the new study planning form and/or contact PET-MRI program manager to discuss the feasibility of conducting your study, study protocols and tracers available to you.
-
Download and fill the PET-MRI New Study Planning document. Submit the completed document to PET-MRI technologists and PET-MRI program manager.
- If assistance is required in filling this form or with your ethics application, please contact UBC PET-MRI program manager.
- The Health Canada guidance document and application form for Authorization of Positron-emitting Radiopharmaceuticals for Use in Basic Clinical Research Studies can be found here
- Please note that for studies with more than 30 subjects additional justification is required during the submission process. Health Canada may request a full CTA application for studies with more than 30 subjects if the justification is deemed insufficient/inappropriate.
-
Apply for UBC Ethics and health Canada approval. It is recommended that you include the text for the contradictions to MRI into your ethics application and consent forms.
