Unassisted scan time (for certified Level III scanner operators who can scan without the MR technologist) is available 24/ 7.  Researchers who want to scan on Fridays, in late evenings, and on weekends should contact the MR Research Administrator in advance to make sure they have off-hours building access.

A researcher must end their scan if another group is waiting to start their scan, even if the first scan was delayed for reasons outside the researcher's control.

An Unassisted user can continue to scan past the end of their reserved time only if two criteria are met:

1) no other user group has reserved the time right after them 

and

2) if they log into iLab and add more time to their reservation.
