Illustration of the proposed adaptive simulations process using a rephaseddephased interleaved SWI sequence. The dotted-line box represents the main concept behind the AS method, which is to provide the best estimate of the missing phase outside the brain. The term ‘Merge’ represents merging the extended phase data with the external phase information of the dural sinuses, where the latter is produced by masking out all the phase information inside the mask, M_Brain-Dil. $\overline{{\text{M}}_{\text{SHARP}}}$ is a complement of M_SHARP, an eroded brain mask created after applying the SHARP algorithm on the unwrapped phase data.
