House rules subject to change, users will be notified via [email protected].

MRI-scans should be performed by a certified researcher or scanassistent. You can get certified by Pieter Buur, Wietske van der Zwaag or Trijntje Sjoerdsma.
Book 15 minutes extra than the real scanning time is. So you have enough time for placing the participant in the scanner.
Please conduct an MRI-safety check before your participant comes to the Center. Otherwise it is possible that they come and are not allowed to go inside the scanner.
When you’re scanning at least one BHV-er (in-house emergency officer) has to be present in the building. The Spinoza staff will take care of a BHV-er during office hours.
When scanning patients, you should scan with a minimum of 2 persons.
If you are scanning a participant/patient and a family member or friend joined this person, this friend or family member has to wait in the waiting room. They are not allowed in the console room.
If the scanner shows any errors, please write this down in the logbooks with data (in English please).
Do not lend your badge to someone else
Do not eat in the console room
If you have visitors, let them fill in the visitor screenings form before entering the console rooms
If possible do not disturb other researchers while they are busy scanning
If you scan outside office hours, please let the security in the AMC (?) know that you are in the building.
Don’t leave boxes or equipment on the floor. The floor has to be cleared.

The two dressing rooms (one with toilet) in the control room are meant to be used by participants/patients. The toilet around the corner is meant for personnel. (Trijntje)

Exit the scanprogram, then the selftest can run.
Unplug the headcoil of the 3T scanner
Lock the scanner room if there is no one scanning immediately after you
Switch off the lights in scanner itself, in the scannerroom and also in the main hall.
