UC Irvine Neuroradiologist Consultations

The ICTS Neuroimaging Unit provides UC Irvine researchers who work with brain MRI scans the opportunity to consult with medical Neuroradiologists at the Medical Center to find out if an incidentally discovered concern warrants formal clinical follow up. To do so, images must be either DICOM format or ANALYZE format and uploaded to the Neuroimaging server with the proper requested information. If you have both, please upload only the DICOM format, as this is more preferable.

For DICOM images, ensure that all individuals images are zipped together. (Click here for zipping instructions.)
For ANALYZE images, ensure that both the *.img and *.hdr are uploaded.

Fill out the following information with the proper contact information and all of the top 6 fields regarding the nature of the request. Depending on the file format, choose the proper upload method to load the image file. Check the box verifying that this is not to be used as a contractual medical diagnosis and submit. Upon completion, an e-mail will be sent to the address supplied in the contact information that the upload was successful.

Upon approval by the Neuroimaging Unit director, you will be notified by e-mail that the request has been accepted. This process usually takes between 1-2 business days. If approved, brain MRI images will be stripped of any confidential header information and sent to the UCI radiologist with the attached questions for examination. Please be aware at this point there may be delay in response depending on the radiologist's schedule. Once an answer has been received, you will be forwarded the comments.
