Enter using the revolving door.

     

    At the scan, you will be given a sticker to attach to your parking ticket that allows you to leave the parking structure without paying. ***PLEASE NOTIFY US AT LEAST 48 HOURS IN ADVANCE IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING BY CAR; OTHERWISE WE MAY NOT HAVE PARKING STICKERS AVAILABLE***

    Get to the Chicago stop on the Red Line and walk east (about 3 blocks) until you reach Fairbanks Ct. Turn right on Fairbanks. The building is between Superior St. and Huron St. and will be on the right (west). Enter the revolving door.

 

Once you reach the facility, tell the receptionist you are there for MRI research and sign in. Take the elevators down to the Basement level. Take a left out of the elevators, then a quick right. Take the first right which will lead you to a door with a small doorbell. Ring the doorbell to let the experimenters know you are there.

 

Please be at the scanning facility no later than fifteen minutes prior to your scheduled scanning time. Plan on being there for about two hours, though you'll only be in the scanner for about an hour. You will be required to change into a hospital gown before entering the scanner. Please wear loose, comfortable clothing (underwire bras are not allowed, but sports bras are OK). Leave all jewelry/earrings/bracelets/etc. at home. Also, please remember to wear your contacts, because you can not go into the MRI machine with your eyeglasses on.

If you have any questions or problems before the day of the scan, please call 847-467-5779. If there is an emergency within an hour of the scheduled scanning time, call 312-926-9975.
