CAMRI MRI Scanner Pricing Structure
Scanner usage is charged at $500/hr which include the assistance of an MR technologist (subject to availability). MR scans can be paid for after usage (postpaid) or before usage (prepaid).
Prepaid scan packages are available in any amount (e.g. $10,000 for 20 hours of scan time; $100,000 for 200 hours of scan time). All prepaid time must be used within 12 months of purchase.
Notes
- Before data collection can begin, the PI must attend all necessary training and submit required documentation, including an IRB-approved protocol and consent form. Click here for an IRB proposal template.
- CAMRI has a Pilot Time Program to allow for collection of preliminary data.
- Scanner time and MR technologist assistance must be reserved using the iLab online scheduler. The minimum duration of a scan session is one hour.
- After-hours discount. Scans conducted after normal business hours (currently 8 am to 6 pm) are charged at half-price (e.g. $250/hour for the hourly rate) but no technologist is available except by special arrangement.
- Time used to scan tissue phantoms will be charged at $100 per hour (no additional discount for scanning after-hours).
- Billing is automatic, based on the amount of scanner time reserved in iLab. After a reservation is made, users have 24 hours to modify or cancel it without charge. If reserved time is not used for any reason (including subject no-show, subject failure to meet screening criteria, experimental difficulties, or any other reason) users will be charged for the unused time. Unused time can be paid with the usual payment methods or a user's accrued pilot time (Pilot Time Program).If the user reports the time as unused within 24 hours of the unused time, the user will be charged at half the normal rate; otherwise the user will be charged the full rate.
- Credit cards are accepted but prices will be 3% higher than those listed above (equal to the fee charged by our credit card processing service).
