          Robust but slow 3D Time-of-flight (TOF) MR angiography 
						has its practical limitation in slice FOV coverage. 
						Recent advancements in MRI acceleration with TOF 
						sequences (e.g. TOF with sparse undersampling) can 
						resolve this practical limitation, and large slice FOV 
						coverage TOF may be realized. Not only for the larger 
						coverage, extra time savings can be reinvested in slice 
						resolution for better delineation of small arteries. The 
						current work introduces the variable slice resolution 
						TOF, a novel concept that adjusts slice resolutions 
						according to anatomical needs for the optimal large FOV 
						TOF within clinically acceptable scan time (<10 min.).
