Phase information of MR images can provide quantitative access to various physical properties of the examined sample, such as local $$$B_0$$$ values, magnetic susceptibility or flow. Phase is a continuous information whose estimation typically requires unwrapping. In this study, we propose a novel phase estimation algorithm which: (1) relies on a numeric scheme that is robust to phase jumps, and (2) is optimized for execution on modern parallel processors.
