We introduce Joint SENSE acquisition/reconstruction to provide higher acceleration in multi-contrast acquisitions with improved image quality. We employ a complementary sampling strategy by shifting the k-space sampling patterns across the contrasts, which induces phase ramps in image space. By harnessing these ramps as additional coil sensitivity variations, we improve reconstruction error and g-factor performance by >2x compared to standard SENSE reconstruction. Further, we combine Joint SENSE with Wave encoding to exploit 4-dimensional sensitivity encoding, 3D across space + 1D across contrasts, to provide rapid multi-contrast acquisition with high quality.
