Industry Studies

CAMRIS is pleased to support MRI scanning for industry studies. Associated costs are available on the CAMRIS Rate Sheet. Please note the study team is responsible for sponsor/CRO communications, including the de-identification and transfer of imaging data according to sponsor requirements. We understand that many industry trials require the same scanner to be used across multiple timepoints. We can accommodate this request on CAMRIS-managed research scanners, but we cannot guarantee the same scanner will be used at each time point if the scans are being run on a clinical scanner and/or being billed through the RBA mechanism. To get started, apply via the regular CAMRIS application. If the sponsor is requesting a .pdf of the on-scanner protocol, please submit a 'Request on-scanner protocol configuration or modification' ticket at the CAMRIS Help Center.

Site-Feasibility Questionnaires

If a site survey is required, please submit an 'Ask a Question' ticket at the CAMRIS Help Desk and attach the form. CAMRIS will assist with completing the MRI specific portion of the form and return it to the study team.

Study Contacts and Technologist Delegation

The study team is responsible for communication with study sponsors and/or CROs. Kindly put the name of the UPENN-based study coordinator as the primary point of contact. The study coordinator can then contact CAMRIS directly with questions or to request status updates by filing a ticket at the CAMRIS Help Center.

Please note that CAMRIS technologists are not considered research study team members and should not be listed on trial documentation. Please see SOP 104 for CAMRIS's policy regarding technologist delegation; this SOP can be submitted to sponsors during feasibility planning.
