CAMRI MRI Scanner Pricing Structure All rates include the assistance of an MR technologist. Standard Hourly Rate of $500 per hour of use. Package A - $10,000, 21 hours of scanner time ($475 per hour, 5% discount from hourly rate). Package B - $25,000, 56 hours of scanner time ($450 per hour, 10% discount). Package C - $50,000, 125 hours of scanner time ($400 per hour, 20% discount). Package D - $100,000, 300 hours of scanner time ($333 per hour, 33% discount). Notes All scanner time and MR technologist assistance must be reserved using the iLab online scheduler. CAMRI has a generous Pilot Time Program to provide no-cost pilot time to permit the collection of preliminary data for grant applications that will then be used to pay for scan time at CAMRI. All other scans for approved research projects as core services will be charged and PIs are expected to pay standard core fees, according to the policies of BCM's [|Advanced Technology Cores]. If scanner time is reserved but no scans are performed for all or part of the time (due to subject cancellation, experimental set-up or any other reason) the user will be charged for the unused time at half-price. Exception: users will receive an amount of unused time equal to the amount of paid time. This calculation is performed within each billing period. Scanner booked for 8 hours, paid usage 1 hour. Unused time = 8 - 1 = 7 hours. Billable unused time = unused time - paid usage = 7 - 1 = 6 hours. Charge = 6 / 2 = 3 hours. Scanner booked for 8 hours, paid usage 4 hours. Unused time = 8 - 4 = 4 hours. Billable unused time = 4 - 4 = 0 hours. Packages for other amounts of scan time are available on request. Scan time in packages must be used within 12 months of purchase. Unfortunately, it is not possible to obtain a refund for unused time or to transfer it to other investigators. Scans conducted outside of normal business hours will be charged at half-price (e.g. weekend scan time is $250/hour for the hourly rate) but no technologist is available except by special arrangement. Scans of tissue phantoms (as distinct from living subjects) will be charged $100 per hour. Credit cards are accepted but prices will be 3% higher than those listed above (equal to the fee charged by our credit card processing service).
