Magnetic resonance imaging scientist Christian Kames has won the Quantitative Susceptibility Mapping Reconstruction Challenge 2016. Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is a technique that turns an MRI scan into maps of magnetic properties of biological tissues. Due to its high sensitivity to tissue damage, QSM is currently one of the hot topics in MRI. 24 teams submitted their methods to the 2016 challenge which was part of the 4TH INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP ON MRI PHASE CONTRAST & QUANTITATIVE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING in Graz, Austria.
