Presentation of the Specialized Trials Group:
It is important that everyone contributes to keeping the external homepage updated with interesting and relevant material. You do this by contributing/editing content, but also by reporting any errors you encounter to the most relevant person (Not just any person. Ask around, if in doubt. Pesist till fixed).
To contribute content or edit web pages, e.g. your personal page that may be linked via http://www.drcmr.dk/staff, you need to login. Use your normal DRCMR network login and password. While logged in, an additional User Menu should appear on the DRCMR pages you are browsing.
By default, you will have very few editing rights, but more rights can be given, if relevant, e.g. to pages you maintain. A subtle editing icon will appear on the pages that you have the right to edit. Click it, and fix content.
Avoid cut and paste of formated text from programs like Word or Powerpoint -- formatting codes breaks design and may interfere with further editing. Copy via Notepad, for example, and add your formatting directly in the web page editor.
Avoid scaling high-resolution images -- resize ahead of uploading instead.
Your friendly office mates, or the DRCMR IT support function can help you, support#drcmr.dk (exchange # with @).
The DRCMR Reader Centre handles and processes large amounts of MRI data with effective data management and analysis methods in multiple cohort studies and clinical trials.
The current equipment of the center includes the following:
Philips Achieva 7.0T | 7T scanner installed after generous donations from the John and Birthe Meyer Foundation and the Danish Research Councils |
Siemens Verio 3.0T | A wide-bore high-end scanner with multi-nuclear capabilities installed 2010. |
Siemens Avanto 1.5T | A classic multi-channel general purpose scanner installed 2010. |
Siemens Trio 3.0T | This scanner was installed in 2002 after a generous donation from the Simon Spies Foundation. |
Philips Achieva 3.0T | This scanner installed 2013 for research purposes got installed in connection with the 7T project. |
Varian Inova 4.7T | This highly flexible experimental scanner is used for animal and "in vitro" work. The system has undergone a number of upgrades and is up-to-date with parallel imaging capability. |
Oxford HyperSense hyperpolarisation unit | A generous donation from the Simon Spies Foundation (description in Danish). The department has a research agreement with GE Healthcare and does in vivo studies of metabolism using hyperpolarised 13C-labelled pyruvate, for example. |
EEG, neuronavigation, TMS | Excellent facilities for advanced neuroimaging studies. |
Animal laboratory | The department has good facilities and skillful staff. |
Computer laboratory | The analysis of MR images is very computer intensive and is performed using a cluster of fast computers. |
Hardware lab | RF and hardware workshop for coil building and more. |
The Centre is located in Copenhagen, Denmark at Hvidovre Hospital in separate buildings just north of Center C. Park car it in the basement or - usually easier - west of the hospital (P2). Alternatively, taxis can bring you directly to the DRCMR (click for route). Taxi from Copenhagen Airport to Hvidovre Hospital takes approximately 15 minutes (mostly highway).
From the basement: Take stairs one level up to "ambulatorieetagen", and follow signs towards the MR-department ("MR-afdelingen"). They lead to the reception. Pass that to reach the research section, which is one floor up from the end of the corridor.
From the parking west of the hospital (P2): Walk parallel to the motorway up the hill, where you will find Pavillion 7. Ring the bell near the white nitrogen tank.
Getting to the hospital by bus: Line 1A goes every few minutes from Copenhagen main station to the main entrance of Hvidovre Hospital in 25 minutes. For details please consult the hospital transport guide.
The clinical section and reception is located in the ground floor ("ambulatorieetagen")
