The MR Center - user guidelines

New user

To book the core facility, a responsible person with a MR-Driver's License must be named. Courses are given on a regular basis. You need to take one of the courses (safety or driver's license) to be able to run a project.

About the courses

The goal is to give research groups the possibility to use the MRI scanner themselves. The MR Center offers two kinds of courses:

• MR driver – MRI safety, basic MRI physics, practical scanning, stimulus equipment
• assistant – MRI safety only

After an agreement with your project leader you can apply for the safety/driving license course.

Please specify which course you intend to take, MR driver or assistant and when you plan to start scanning.

Please note that the courses are only intended for researchers carrying out their project at the MR Center at Karolinska Institutet.
