We present a novel reconstruction scheme incorporating not only the prior information that the MR image is sparse in certain transformation domain but also the support information for the target image to be reconstructed. Support can be detected either from low resolution estimate or from certain transformation domain of a high resolution reference image. A mix weighted L1-L2 regularization formulation is established for reconstruction. Data from a noncontrast MRA and a brain imaging experiment are used to demonstrate the advantageous performance of the proposed method compared to conventional compressed sensing based reconstruction from sparsely sampled data.
