Informed Consent for imaging repository
It seems to me that retrospective analysis of data such as
symptoms, diagnoses and images poses zero risk to subjects. Has
anyone developed standard operating procedures to minimize informed
consent requirements for such research? I would like to be able to
pull images for two groups and compare them as a way to introduce
students to the techniques of various neuroimaging research (e.g.,
VBM). Is there a way to avoid getting informed consent from all
such subjects, since there is "minimal risk," or burden?

Hi Stephen
You should contact the IRB at your institution for recommendations.
