Ungated radial quiescent‐inflow single‐shot (UnQISS) magnetic resonance angiography using optimized azimuthal equidistant projections

We hypothesized that non–contrast‐enhanced MR angiography (NEMRA) could be performed without cardiac gating by using a variant of the quiescent‐inflow single‐shot (QISS) technique.
