DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objective of the "International Workshop on MRI Phase Contrast and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) Techniques and Applications" is to provide a forum for researchers interested in MRI signal phase and QSM. Magnetic susceptibility is a major tissue property that changes with organ function, disease and intervention, but still remains largely unexplored in MRI because of the difficulties in determinin susceptibility distribution. Recently there have been a number of breakthroughs in reconstructing tissue susceptibility for QSM and in applying QSM in neurological diseases. There has been an exploding interest in the scientific community in QSM because it offers a new area for applying physics and mathematics to study a new tissue property. A major goal of this QSM workshop is to provide scientists from various backgrounds the opportunity to build connections, pool their knowledge, and educate students and fellow scientists, so as to catalyze the developments of QSM technology and the translation of QSM into clinical practice. Accordingly we organize topics for this workshop to include basic and advanced discussions on the biophysics of tissue susceptibility, QSM reconstruction algorithms, and clinical and scientific applications. We plan to achieve these workshop goals through the following three specific aims: 1) Bring together scientists from varied backgrounds including physics, applied mathematics, biology and medicine to promote cross-fertilization of ideas on technical developments and clinical applications and to identify and emphasize the methodologies that bear the potential to innovate QSM technology and its future clinical uses. 2) Foster collaborative relationships among researchers from multi-centers to work on QSM technology standardization and accuracy assessment that are essential for clinical applications. 3) Educate young scientists (students, postdocs and junior investigators) and scientists with different backgrounds on the fundamentals and state-of-the-art of QSM technology. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This proposed "International Workshop on MRI Phase Contrast and Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping (QSM) Techniques and Applications" is to provide a forum for researchers interested in MRI signal phase and QSM to build connections, pool their knowledge, and educate students and fellow scientists, so as to catalyze the developments of QSM technology and the translation of QSM into clinical practice.

描述（由申请人提供）：“MRI相位对比和定量敏感性映射（QSM）技术和应用国际研讨会”的目的是为对MRI信号相位和QSM感兴趣的研究人员提供一个论坛。磁化率是一种主要的组织性质，随着器官功能、疾病和干预而改变，但由于难以确定磁化率分布，因此在MRI中仍未得到很大的探索。近年来，在QSM的组织易感性重建和QSM在神经系统疾病中的应用方面取得了一些突破。科学界对QSM的兴趣激增，因为它为应用物理学和数学来研究新的组织特性提供了一个新的领域。本次QSM研讨会的主要目标是为来自不同背景的科学家提供建立联系、汇集知识、教育学生和科学家同行的机会，从而促进QSM技术的发展和将QSM转化为临床实践。因此，我们组织了本次研讨会的主题，包括组织易感性的生物物理学基础和高级讨论，QSM重建算法，以及临床和科学
