Version 4: Radiology Imaging Cost Estimate Request

Please select the type of cost estimate you would like to request.

Please note:

It is the study team's responsibility to obtain Radiology procedure costs if they are required, by submitting the cost estimate request.

Regarding De-Identification: If imaging data is to be shared outside of Columbia, any scans performed with PHI must be de-identified through the Department of Radiology's De-identification Service, Rad De-identification. The de-identified images will be placed in a folder to which the requesting CRCs have access; the CRC will be responsible for data transfer. 

If you require a full cost estimate, please select the type of cost estimate review you will need.

1: Standard Cost Estimate Review - The PI and study team are responsible for entering the correct procedures
2: Enhanced Cost Estimate Review Service - A valid chartstring will be needed for this service.

Please enter information to the best of your knowledge as this will help speed up the review process.

What is the Total number of subjects?

if there are different arms or cohorts, write this separated by commas

Please provide a valid chartstring for the Enhanced Review service.
An invoice will be sent to your Department along with the Finalized Cost Estimate.

If chartstring is not yet available:

By completing this section, you are confirming that the invoice for Enhanced review can be sent at a later date to the study team.

I acknowledge that I will provide the chartstring for the Enhanced Review service as soon as it becomes available.
Enter Name and uni:
Print your name, or the name of your manager who will provide the chartstring.

If you require ONLY de-identification costs, and no other Radiology procedures costs.

Please select the scenario that fits your situation:

If this protocol was previously under a different IRB number and/or PI, please provide the previous IRB number and/or PI name here.

The expectation is that all studies using Radiology imaging procedures require or already have a finalized imaging cost estimate.

Please provide justification for NOT needing a full finalized cost estimate.

Please upload documentation (PDF'ed email from sponsor, imaging manual, or protocol) to indicate de-identification requirement for the study in the file upload below.

Please indicate the page number these details appear on.
