METHODS: The feasibility of the method was tested by retrospectively undersampling a cardiac perfusion data set, which presents
contrast-enhancement as dynamic information. 2D cardiac perfusion MRI was performed on a 3T Siemens Trio scanner using a
standard 12-element body matrix coil array. Fully-sampled perfusion data were acquired using a 128128 matrix (FOV = 320320
mm2) and 40 temporal frames and retrospectively undersampled by a factor of 8 using a different variable-density random
undersampling along ky for each time point, to exploit spatial and temporal incoherence [1-2]. The L+S reconstruction was
implemented in Matlab using the TFOCS toolbox [7] by solving the following optimization problem:
minL* + ST1 s.t. E(L+S)-d2 <,where T is the temporal FFT (sparsifying transform for S), is a weighting parameter
determined empirically by comparing the performance of several values, E is the multicoil SENSE matrix given by the product of
spatial Fourier transform for each time point according to the undersampling pattern and the coil sensitivities, and is a data fidelity
parameter, which was set to the noise level. The algorithm enforces joint multicoil low-rank and sparsity by using the multicoil
SENSE matrix, which increases performance by combining compressed sensing and parallel imaging into a single joint reconstruction
[2]. For comparison purposes, a standard multicoil compressed sensing (CS) reconstruction was also implemented using TFOCS by
