Typical clinical MRI routines include multiple imaging of the same region of interest under different contrast settings. In this work we extend the Total Generalized Variation (TGV) operator to jointly reconstruct multiple MRI contrasts from undersampled k-space data using one or more receiver coils. The multi-contrast TGV operator exploits the structural similarities of the multi-contrast images to preserve these details in the reconstruction process. The proposed technique yields to improved reconstruction accuracy when compared to widely used parallel imaging reconstruction methods such as SENSE and Total Variation regularized SENSE.
