Most MRI image reconstruction algorithms are optimized for full-volume performance rather than specific tissues. Using a KIKI-Net style architecture and multi-component loss function in image space and k-space as baseline, we find a cartilage-specific loss function improves reconstruction performance at R=4 and R=8 in both cartilage and menisci. Thus, it may be possible to improve clinical utility of reconstruction pipelines across tissues of heightened clinical interest using a simple loss function weighting. Furthermore, full-volume standard reconstruction metrics worsened at R=4 and R=8 while tissue-specific metrics improved, calling into question whether these metrics are best for assessing reconstruction pipeline clinical utility.
