To access the MRI scanner, you need to:
1. Complete Safety Training & CPR
2. Request access to BSRL (the building)
Generally, BSRL building access is Mon-Fri 6 am to 6 pm for most researchers, but you need a PIN before 8 am. After you have been approved for access, use this University URL to get a PIN: https://www.fm.arizona.edu/DACPortal/index.html#/SelfAccess. Note that you need to keep track of your PIN, since the website does not display your current pin.
If you encounter access problems, please contact Andy Rouse (rouse@arizona.edu).
The official address of the building is:
Bioscience Research Laboratory
1230 N Cherry Ave.
Tucson AZ, 85719
Scanner Console Phone: 520-626-2542
iLab Scheduler
If you are a PI, you need to ensure you are signed up to use the iLab scheduler site before members of your lab can get access. Here are instructions for working with iLab. If you encounter difficulties getting iLab to accept your account number, contact Andy Rouse (rouse at arizona.edu).
To reserve scan time using iLab:
Login to your iLab account
Click on the "Memberships" drop-down at the top of the page
Select "My Groups" (on the left) and then select the desired lab
Open the Membership Requests & Account Numbers tab
Scroll down (towards the middle of the page) to a section where you can select your account number.
Enter the account number to charge for the scans.
If you are not a PI, you can still sign up to use iLab. On the iLab site, select a PI and that PI will get an email asking them to add you ( this assumes your PI is in the system). Once you are in the iLab system, other PIs you work for can add you and you will receive a confirmation on iLab (not an email). You'll see these notifications under Home->Communication on the left of the iLab page when you log in.
The iLab scheduler is available from anywhere (you don't have to be on the UofA network to access it).
