Purpose: To assess the diagnostic performance of quiescent-interval single-shot (QISS) magnetic resonance (MR) angiography, a nonenhanced two-dimensional electrocardiographically gated single-shot balanced steady-state free precession examination for the evaluation of symptomatic chronic lower limb ischemia.Materials and Methods: For this prospective institutional review board-approved, HIPAA-compliant study, the institutional review board waived the requirement for informed patient consent. The QISS nonenhanced MR angiography technique was evaluated in a two-center trial involving 53 patients referred for lower extremity MR angiography for suspected or known chronic peripheral arterial disease (PAD), with contrast material-enhanced MR angiography serving as the non-invasive reference standard. The accuracy of stenosis assessments performed with the nonenhanced MR angiography sequence was evaluated relative to the reference standard. Per-segment, per-region, and per-limb sensitivities and specificities were calculated, and assessments were considered correct only if they were in exact agreement with the reference standard-derived assessments. Generalized estimating equation (GEE) modeling with use of an unstructured binomial logit analysis was used to account for clustering of multiple measurements per case. The sensitivity and specificity of QISS MR angiography for the determination of nonsignificant (
