A robust image reconstruction and processing strategy to achieve minimal susceptibility artifact for SWI is developed and demonstrated. With a multi-echo GRE data acquisition and a newly developed robust rapid phase unwrapping algorithm, an enhanced version of SWI imaging procedure, namely SWI+, is developed to address the pitfalls in classic SWI, which collects only one echo and simply employs high pass filtering on phase images.
