This work investigates the blind multichannel under-sampling problem where both the channel functions and signal are reconstructed simultaneously. We propose a new approach to blind compressed sensing in the context of parallel imaging where the sensing matrix is not known exactly and needs to be reconstructed. The proposed method effectively incorporates the sparseness of both the desired image and coil sensitivities in reconstruction of both the coil sensitivities and image simultaneously from randomly-undersampled, multichannel k-space data. The proposed method is compared with Sparse SENSE and L1 SPIRiT and demonstrates a significant improvement in image quality at high reduction factors.
