Remarks (*):
*1. A CUHK project is defined by one that has a CUHK project account where a CUHK staff member serves as the budget holder and the sole PI or subproject PI (for large-scale projects with multiple PIs). All payments should be made via CUHK interdepartmental transfer.
*2. An agreement should be signed with CUHK via ORKTS prior to scan application if payment is made via non-CUHK account, 15% handling charge will be requested by CUHK.
*3. Researchers are permitted to use the scanner free of charge in order to set up their scanning protocol, subject to scanner availability. If the scanner is booked after a researcher requested a protocol testing timeslot, the free timeslot will be cancelled. The protocol testing time is meant for the researchers to calibrate the instruments rather than scanning any consented research participants. A phantom can be made available. Free session for sequence trial is capped at 5 hours for each project.
*4. A special rate at HK$1,000 per hour will be offered for a maximum of 8 hours per project as trial run scan (including set up time).
*5. In line with HA requirement, CMS report is compulsory for the use of contrast. Reporting fee from HK$1,100 per case per report will be charged,
# Cost will be reviewed case by case subject to sequence complexity.
^Bookings on weekend would be available subject to HA radiographer and staff availability, booking of a minimum of 3 consecutive hours is required.
