iLab Registration

The BRIC has transitioned to a new online scheduling and billing system, called iLab, which will help streamline our workflow. Please read and follow the steps below carefully to create an account in the iLab before scheduling or sending out imaging request:

  1. Each user needs to register with iLab first for future imaging studies. If you already have an account, including chart string billing information, you can jump to #6 below to schedule your study. If not, please continue.
  2. For external users, you can go directly to register by individual by clicking the blue button below and complete the registration, then go to #6.

    You will receive a 鈥渨elcome to iLab鈥� email with your login and password within one day following a short review process.
  3. For 大象传媒 internal users, the principle investigator (PI) needs to register first by clicking the above button. Once a PI鈥檚 account has been approved, members in the lab can register using the same link above and choose the PI鈥檚 lab during the registration process. PI鈥檚, please communicate with your lab members after your account has been approved so they can register.
  4. The PI must then setup their 大象传媒 accounts with chart fields information by clicking 鈥渕anually add a new account number鈥� (see more information in the 鈥淐hart Fields Instruction鈥� below. The PI can also designate the lab manager or someone in your department (as long as he or she has an iLab account) as a financial administrator to manage the accounts, so that he/she can help you to enter the chart strings and assign chart strings to each member. See box below for instructions on how to enter chart-string information. If you are not a 大象传媒 user, then you must enter your billing information during registration.
  5. The PI or Lab Manager will need to assign each member in your lab to at least one chart-string in order for him/her to book studies in iLab. This can be done by clicking on 鈥淢anage Account Numbers鈥� in your lab settings.
  6. Once your account has been approved and you have at least one chart-string assigned, you can access the 大象传媒CH cores that are live within the iLab system by logging in with your username and password at the following link:

    Click on the 鈥淏iomedical Research Imaging Center (BRIC)鈥� link on the left side of the iLab page to either reserve equipment (for trained users) by clicking on the 鈥淩eserve Equipment鈥� tab or send a service request via the 鈥淩equest Services鈥� tab for a staff assisted study or untrained users.
  7. Users must be trained first in order to schedule time on a calendar for user-operated imaging study. In order to be trained you must submit a request by clicking on 鈥淩equest Services鈥� tab followed by clicking on 鈥淪mall Animal Imaging鈥�. You will then click on 鈥渋nitiate request鈥� for 鈥淪mall Animal Imaging Training Request鈥�.

Chart-Fields Instruction

In order to add chart string information you will need to click on the 鈥渞equest鈥� button within the lab under the 鈥渕embership and requests & chartfield strings鈥� tab. There you will be able to specify which chartfield you would like added for scheduling and billing. This will be done by the university and not the user or PI as it was in the past. If there are questions regarding this please contact 大象传媒 Core Support at coresupport@med.unc.edu.

We hope this transition will make BRIC equipment and services easier to access, campus core services more uniform, and chartfield strings more convenient. If you have any questions or issues that arise after the implementation please contact:
