__TOC__

== Scope ==
SYNAPSE is an open, member-driven working group focused on MRI for **neuroimmunological diseases** including **MS, NMOSD, MOGAD, and Susac syndrome**.
Our aims are to (1) define clinical needs, (2) harmonize **multicentre** protocols and QC, (3) advance **contrast-free/safety-minded** MRI, and (4) promote reproducible analysis and data sharing.

== Origin ==
This group emerged from the MIS discussion: [[How_can_MRI_overcome_challenges_in_multiple_sclerosis]].

== Conveners ==
* Sonia Waiczies (MDC Berlin-Buch) – ''contact:'' sonia.waiczies@mdc-berlin.de
* Friedemann Paul (Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin)
* Myrte Strik (Spinoza Center, Amsterdam)
* (To add)

== Participation ==
Open to clinicians, physicists, data scientists, and industry collaborators.
To join, add your name below and/or email the conveners.

; Members
* Name (Affiliation) – focus/interests
* Name (Affiliation) – focus/interests

== Work Packages ==
''still under construction''
; WP1 – Clinical needs & endpoints
Define use-cases across MS, NMOSD, MOGAD, Susac; propose measurable MRI endpoints.

; WP2 – Acquisition & harmonization
Standardization, guideline preparation, preparation and publication of simple vendor-agnostic protocols (field strengths, sequences), phantom/QC.

; WP3 – Analysis & reproducibility
Pipelines, containers, benchmarking datasets, reporting standards.

== Deliverables & Timeline ==
* **M1–M3:** Charter + member list + initial protocol draft
* **M4–M6:** Consensus note (v1) + shared repository (protocols/QC/templates)
* **M6–M12:** Multicentre pilot + benchmark results + session/BoF proposal for ESMRMB

== Meeting Rhythm ==
* **Kick-off call:** Month YYYY (virtual, 60–75 min)
* **Quarterly calls:** progress & decisions
* **Annual** in-person touchpoint at ESMRMB (BoF/Workshop)

== Resources ==
* MIS page: [[How_can_MRI_overcome_challenges_in_multiple_sclerosis]]
* Shared repo/drive: (link to be added)
* Submission templates: (abstract/protocol/QC forms – to be added)
* Upload figures/files via [[Special:Upload]] and include with <code>[[File:YourFile.png|thumb|Caption]]</code>.
