In this work, a fast and flexible TOF technique is proposed by applying sliding-slice spiral acquisition with localized quadratic encoding RF pulse. Due to the fast acquisition, water-fat separation and deblurring can also be applied using data from two TEs to improve the visualization over the conventional out of phase method. Volunteer scans in head and neck have demonstrated that the proposed method is 0.4 - 2 times faster than the conventional 2D Cartesian TOF and 3D Cartesian multi-slab TOF, yet provides slightly better visibility of the flow.
