contents Cardiac MRI (CMRI) is a cornerstone imaging modality that provides in-depth insights into cardiac structure and function. Multi-contrast CMRI (MCCMRI), which acquires sequences with varying contrast weightings, significantly enhances diagnostic capabilities by capturing a wide range of cardiac tissue characteristics. However, MCCMRI is often constrained by lengthy acquisition times and susceptibility to motion artifacts. To mitigate these challenges, accelerated imaging techniques that use k-space undersampling via different sampling schemes at acceleration factors have been developed to shorten scan durations. In this context, we propose a deep learning-based reconstruction method for 2D dynamic multi-contrast, multi-scheme, and multi-acceleration MRI. Our approach integrates the state-of-the-art vSHARP model, which utilizes half-quadratic variable splitting and ADMM optimization, with a Variational Network serving as an Auxiliary Refinement Network (ARN) to better adapt to the diverse nature of MCCMRI data. Specifically, the subsampled k-space data is fed into the ARN, which produces an initial prediction for the denoising step used by vSHARP. This, along with the subsampled k-space, is then used by vSHARP to generate high-quality 2D sequence predictions. Our method outperforms traditional reconstruction techniques and other vSHARP-based models.
