Hello all, Following recent guidance, we are no longer recommending that participants wear a mask whilst they are being scanned. The steps regarding masks are now as follows: Please ask them to replace their mask with an MRI safe mask of ours at the door as usual. When they are settled into the head coil (but without padding or the front part in place) sanitize your hands and ask them to remove their mask. Place their mask in the yellow square on the workbench. Sanitize your hands again. When removing the participant, sanitize your hands and give them back the mask. Sanitize your hands again. Ensure you thoroughly clean the yellow square area the mask was in. Thank you all for being flexible and understanding as guidelines and advice are ever changing.
