        • New QSM reconstruction, QSMnet, is developed using a deep neural network.

        • QSMnet generates a highly accurate QSM map close to a gold standard (COSMOS) map.

        • Processing time of QSMnet is only a few seconds, achieving real-time processing.

        • In patients, QSMnet delivers similar lesion contrasts to conventional QSM.
