Combining phase images from multiple channels is a difficult problem hindered by challenges such as phase wrapping, noise and the unknown phase offset between each of the channels. We present here a method which reconstructs the underlying objects phase image (i.e., tissue phase), as well as the channels phase offsets, from a single Multi-Echo Gradient Echo (MEGE) scan, without requiring a reference scan.
