MRI scan cancellations

Hi All, The Siemens scanner has developed a serious fault this afternoon, and it is not currently operational. An engineer has inspected the system and diagnosed the issue, but unfortunately the repair will take some time. We have been advised that the scanner will not be functional next week (26/2 - 1/3). Please ensure that you contact all the participants that you have scheduled to scan next week, to let them know that their scan sessions will have to be cancelled and rescheduled for a later date. We apologise for the substantial disruption, unfortunately this is an age-related fault that could not be prevented. We will do everything we can to get the scanner up and running as soon as possible, and we will keep you updated as soon as we know when it will be available again. Best Wishes, Rich -- Dr Richard Aveyard Senior Technical Specialist York NeuroImaging Centre University of York, UK
