Radiology Research Feasibility Assessment

To ensure that Radiology resources will be available for human research at Jefferson, protocols that requires imaging assistance must be submitted for review by the Department of Radiology. A formal request for review is initiated by completing the RadRequest webform that may be found on the Jefferson Office of Human Research Protection site. A complete log of all correspondences will be maintained by the Department of Radiology. 

ATTENTION – Study Team Must Read Before Proceeding

  1. All fields below should be thoroughly read, comprehended, and answered to the best of your knowledge. Failure to do so may result in extended reviewing time.
  2. Informal or verbal requests for Radiology resources will not be acceptable.
  3. Any updates to the imaging guidelines after this submission or Radiology approval will need to be resubmitted for evaluation.
  4. The PIs should review the imaging protocol and be mindful of patients’ implant status and imaging tolerance. 
  5. Please e-mail the latest protocol version to  [email protected] to expedite the reviewing process. Protocol submission is REQUIRED even for standard of care requests. For non-standard of care, please also submit the imaging manual.
  6. For approval, please allow us two weeks for standard of care requests, and up to one month for non-standard of care requests.
