Profile Activation

The information below applies only to sites and facilities that have submitted the feasibility questionnaire and subsequently received email approval from the New IDEAS Study team. You are not permitted to begin the profile activation process until you have received approval.

Follow these instructions to activate your referring site or imaging facility to participate in the New IDEAS Study. Your site will not be able to register or scan a study participant until these steps are complete.
