In this study, we demonstrated the utility of intracranial MR angiography (MRA) using acceleration-selective arterial spin labeling (AccASL) technique in Moyamoya disease. The AccASL-MRA markedly improved the visualization of arteries distal to the steno-occlusive site reflecting collateral flow via LMA in Moyamoya disease in comparison with time-of-flight (TOF)-MRA.
