Optimal MR data acquisition for study directors
Sequences
As a principle investigator, it is essential to select suitable MR sequences with optimal parameter settings for data acquisition. A sound understanding of the sequence types and settings is important in order to prepare them as part of the study planning. For complex inquiries, especially regarding sequence selection, we recommend contacting the experts at Graz University of Technology(Institute for Biomedical Imaging).
Defined sequences and parameters are subjected to mandatory test measurements as part of the study planning. After checking your MR data, the MR-side study planning will be finalized. Please note that no changes to the sequence parameters can be made during an ongoing study.
Data management
Please refer to the Data Management section for information on sending and backing up MR data and log files.
Security
The safety issues (e.g. implants in the scanner), the supervision of the subjects during the examination and the individual planning of the study sequence protocol are handled by radiology technologists.
Other study-relevant aspects are the responsibility of investigators, including the recruitment and instruction of subjects for the fMRI examination.
