Background Standard-of-care time-of-flight (TOF) techniques for nonenhanced magnetic resonance angiography (NEMRA) of the carotid bifurcation and other cervical arteries often provide nondiagnostic image quality due to motion and flow artifacts. Purpose To perform an initial evaluation of an ungated radial quiescent-interval slice-selective (QISS) technique for NEMRA of the neck, in comparison with 2D TOF and contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography (CEMRA). Study Type Retrospective. Population Sixty patients referred for neck MR angiography. Field Strength/Sequence Ungated radial QISS at 3T. Assessment Three radiologists scored image quality of 18 arterial segments using a 4-point scale (1, nondiagnostic; 2, fair; 3, good; 4, excellent), and two radiologists graded proximal internal carotid stenosis using five categories (
