3T Protocol Committee
The Protocol Committee is responsible for approving proposed MRI research studies for the 3T MR scanner. The decisions made by the Committee are based upon the feasibility and applicability of the proposed studies for 3T MR imaging. For pilot studies, the Committee also considers the scientific merit of the proposals. If the scanner is fully booked, the Committee prioritizes the proposed studies.
