Quantitative susceptibility mapping requires reliable 3D phase unwrapping and background phase removal. Previously, we have developed a method for integrated 3D phase unwrapping and harmonic background phase removal using Laplacian, namely HARPERELLA. In this study, we introduced an improved version of this HARPERELLA method, which allows more intuitive implementation and more robust suppression of the low frequency background phase. Importantly, it also provides the selection between smooth phase throughout the field of view or intact local phase variations around the veins by choosing between Laplacian-based and path-based phase unwrapping.
