Schedule a Study - Biomedical Research Imaging Center

All scheduling of imaging studies and service requests will be done via iLab. Please follow the iLab Scheduling and Service Request Instructions:

If you have not already registered with iLab you must do so before you can schedule a study. Instructions on how to register can be found here.

If you are trained user for optical, ultrasound, DEXA or PET imaging, you can schedule studies on the iLab calendars. For instructions on how to schedule user operated imaging studies follow this link.

If you need to schedule a staff assisted imaging study, you can send an imaging request from iLab “Request Service” page. For instructions on how to request staff assisted imaging studies or other service requests, follow this link.

If you have any questions you can contact us at bricpmi@med.unc.edu or call 919-966-2855.

Imaging Study Scheduling and Cancellation Policy

All research investigators are encouraged to book their imaging time one week in advance. For user-operated studies, although walk-in booking is possible, it is highly recommended that studies are booked at least 4 hours before the study time. For staff-operated studies, we require a minimum of 24-hour advanced notice to receive timely service.

For user-operated studies, cancellation can be made up to 4 hours before the booked time to avoid charges. For all staff-supported imaging studies, cancellation needs to be requested at least 24 hours ahead of the booked time to avoid charges.

If the cancellation cannot be made within the allowed time, the facility will invoice the study for 50% of the reserved equipment time. If another study fills the entire cancelled slot, there will be no invoice to the cancelling user/lab. If the cancellation results in charges for imaging tracers, users are responsible for paying the cost. If the cancellation is because of PMI facility staff or equipment failure, there will be no charge to the user.

All cancellation requests can be sent to the facility at bricpmi@med.unc.edu , to the facility staff members, or call the facility at 919-966-2855.

For user-operated studies, the machine time charges are based on the time booked on the ilab calendar. Please include setup and cleaning time in your booking.
