All imaging laboratories are located in building 60 (UG, Nuclear Medicine) within the area where radioactive samples are handled. All labs are also classified as biosafetly level S1. Thus, access to the lab is only granted after radiosafety and biosafety instructions by the radiosafety and biosafety officers of RG Prof. Endepols or RG Prof. Grüll or their representatives. This is mandatory also for work that doesn't involve radioactive sample handling, such as MRI or microCT  measurements.

Instructions are always given the last Friday of a month at 13:00 by zoom, inluding a multiple choice test.
