The purpose of this study is to evaluate the ability of SNAP to evaluate the CoW by comparing with an established non-contrast MRA technique, time of flight (TOF).We found SNAP have good agreement with TOF and similar intra-reader reproducibility in CoW evaluation. However, the agreement between TOF and SNAP and the reproducibility of each technique is moderate in the anterior communicating artery identification. Thus, SNAP shows great promise for imaging both intracranial artery and vessel wall with a single scan.
