Carimas2 beta version is released
Carimas2 is a package for general medical image processing, it is not ONLY for cardiac study any more. Using Carimas2, you can visualize PET, CT and MRI image data, you can draw ROI manually, you can extract tissue-activity curves based on your defined ROIs, you can perform further analysis such as modeling. A heart module is implemented Carimas2. Using heart module, users can analyze cardiac PET study data in similar way such as in Carimas v1.0.

Firefox in Turku PET Centre
Using Firefox in TUH is prevented by default, because Medbit requests that only Explorer 6 to be used in the TUC network (and PET Centre as well). However, because the academic research work in Turku PET Centre is dependent on modern, safe, standard complying browsers, Firefox is restored to those who have requested that. Firefox then installed and and updated automatically as managed software.
Patlak and Logan programs updated
Programs for regional calculation of Patlak and Logan (patlak, logan), and programs for calculation of parametric Ki and DV images (imgki and imgdv) were updated to C# versions.
Currently the C# versions are available only inside TPC network. SW is still GPL, but new TPC web pages do not yet allow automatic uploading of SW, and currently there is no download page either. Codes and/or executables (same executables work in Linux/Mono as well) are available by request.
