It is helpful to have a checklist to reduce the risk of error on the acquisition day. All the previous sections cover what is important to know, but it is easy to forget.
Upon your arrival¶
Have all required forms in hand, completed and signed
Ask your participant to wait for you in the waiting room while you:
Pick up a uniform
Give the forms to an available UNF staff member
Prepare MRI-compatible lenses if needed
A UNF staff member will go to the waiting room to review the MRI screening form with your participant as soon as they are available.
When the team before you has finished and has vacated the MRI room as well as the control room, you will be invited to go prepare the equipment for your study if needed.
Safety¶
At least one member of the research team must be present during the acquisition session to be able to respond to the needs and requests of their participants, and to assist UNF staff in case of emergency.
In the case where the participant is a member of the research team (for example for a pilot), it is necessary for an additional member of the research team to be present during the acquisition session.
