Parallel Imaging (PI) and Compressed Sensing (CS) enable accelerated MR imaging. However, the actual PI-CS reconstruction performance is usually limited by noise amplification and image boundary/structure blurring particularly at high reduction factor. In this work, a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) was optimized to promote structured sparsity and it was further merged into the SPIRiT framework as a regularization constraint. The proposed algorithm has demonstrated its improved performance for image boundary and detail structure preservation in accelerated 3D high resolution brain imaging.
