Final entry by old manager

So, I am leaving the lab, for new employment starting Dec 17th. I'd like to thank you all for the (almost) five years I have had the pleasure to manage the lab -- there have been some interesting challenges, a lot of good research done and most of all, so many nice people to work and have fun with. I have greatly enjoyed my time here and will miss you all!

 As of 1st of January, you will have not one, but two new managers. Karl Bodell will take care of the administrative duties (you will be able to find him in my old office at 25%), and Farshad Falahati will manage the computers (also at 25%). Kalle and Farshad, I wish you both best of luck at SMILE!

New version of PACS software

We have a new software called IDS7 for accessing PACS on the PACS-machine at SMILE. It is an updated and better version of IDS5, where you for instance can choose to download a single sequence only for a patient (remember, in IDS5 one was forced to download all sequences). IDS7 is started either by double-clicking the icon named "PACS Huddinge" on the desktop or by entering the address "http://pacshuddinge/ids7" in a web browser. Log on as usual with your HSA-ID and password. You can still also open IDS5 by choosing Sectra on the Start menu.

New postdoc in the lab

We welcome Daniel Ferreira Padilla who is starting a one year postdoc at NVS, Novum, on 1st of January.
