Multi-contrast images of the same region are routinely acquired in clinical MRI. This abstract proposes a fast reconstruction method for multi-contrast imaging: Autocalibrated Parallel Imaging Reconstruction for Extended Multi-Contrast (APIR4EMC). Unlike conventional parallel imaging (GRAPPA) which reconstructs the image for individual contrast, APIR4EMC additionally includes the inter-contrast signals in the prediction of unsampled positions in the k-space of each contrast and simultaneously reconstructs images for all contrasts. Experiments show significant improvement of APIR4EMC compared to conventional parallel imaging in terms of artifacts and SNR.
