Noncontrast-enhanced MRA with investigational version of IFIR FSE can be obtained for evaluation of arteries from aortic arch to skull base with compressed sensing (CS) and parallel imaging ARC within a short period time. Thirty-seven patients with possible cerebrovascular diseases were studied. Reduction of imaging time of MRA with acceptable image quality can be made with ARC 3x2 or ARC 3x1+CS. This technique can be used as a screening method for neck arteries additional to MRI and MRA of the head. Further optimization of sequences for ARC and CS may be required for reduction of imaging time.
