Multi-contrast images of the same anatomy are commonly acquired together to maximize diagnostic information. We demonstrate a multi-channel multi-contrast compressed sensing – parallel imaging (CS-PI) technique that simultaneously uses joint and individual regularization terms to exploit anatomical similarities across contrasts without leakage of distinct features across contrasts and that incorporates coil sensitivities to further improve image quality. The method is compared in-vivo to the single-contrast multi-channel CS-PI method l1-ESPIRiT for PD-/T1-/T2-weighted images of N=11 participants using signal-to-noise ratio calculations as well as neuroradiologist reader studies. The proposed method yields superior performance than l1-ESPIRiT both quantitatively and qualitatively.
