1. Pre-Scheduling

Once you have confirmed study eligibility, please pre-screen for MRI safety. You could go over the questions in Hoglund MRI safety screening form.

Please escalate any questions as soon as possible through hbicschedulemanager@kumc.edu. Do not wait till day of scan. It is not always possible to resolve safety concerns immediately and scan may have to be cancelled.

2. Scheduling

Please use the most accurate study name when scheduling the scan. Include any special instructions for the technologists or HBIC staff. Examples include mobility assistance, targeted imaging of a specific body region, or image uploads for radiologist review of incidental findings/diagnoses.

3. Pre-Visit (24–72 hrs prior)

Please ensure that the participant has the participant check-in form in a physical or digital form with the correct appointment time. Recommend them to come 15-20 minutes early since we are not easy to find. You may provide them the Hoglund front desk number 913-588-9070. They can call us if they are lost.

Remind them they would have to change into scrubs for the scans otherwise they will not be scanned. Reach out to Hoglund if your participants need special MRI safe materials. We may not provide study-specific materials, but we can help you identify appropriate options for your participants. 

4. Day-of-Scan

Please have the back-up study personnel available during the day/time of scan should questions arise.

If you accompany the participant, please communicate with the front desk when you arrive, and when your participant is changed and is ready to be scanned.

5. Feedback

Please reach out to  hbicschedulemanager@kumc.edu or center director slevendovszky@kumc.edu if you have specific questions or comments. You can also complete the anonymous feedback form.
