AB  - PURPOSE: To report a 3D multi-echo thin-slab stack-of-stars (tsSOS) 
      quiescent-interval slice-selective (QISS) strategy for high-resolution magnetic 
      resonance angiography (MRA) of the entire neck in under seven minutes. METHODS: 
      The neck arteries of eight subjects were imaged at 3 Tesla. Multi-echo 3D tsSOS 
      QISS using a FLASH readout was compared with 3D tsSOS FLASH, 2D QISS, 2D TOF, and 
      3D TOF. A root-mean-square (RMS) combination of echo time images was tested. 
      Evaluation metrics included arterial signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), 
      arterial-to-muscle contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR), and image quality. RESULTS: 3D 
      multi-echo tsSOS QISS using a RMS combination of echo time images increased SNR 
      and CNR by 60% and 63% with respect to the reconstruction obtained with the 
      shortest echo time. 3D tsSOS QISS showed superior CNR with respect to 3D tsSOS 
      FLASH imaging, and more than 3-fold higher SNR and CNR with respect to 2D radial 
      QISS when normalized for voxel size. 3D tsSOS QISS provided good to excellent 
      image quality that exceeded the image quality of 2D QISS, 2D TOF, and 3D TOF 
      (P < .05). CONCLUSION: Whole-neck high-resolution nonenhanced MRA is feasible 
      using 3D tsSOS QISS, and produced image quality that exceeded those of competing 
      nonenhanced MRA protocols at 3 Tesla.
