A non-contrast enhanced intracranial three-dimensional dynamic magnetic resonance angiography (4D-MRA) based on pseudo-continuous arterial spin labelling with the keyhole technique (4D-PACK) was implemented. Images acquired from three volunteers were compared with the data acquired without the keyhole technique. We show that the 4D-PACK can accelerate acquisition speed, while keeping flow dynamics information.
