The proton density-weighted, in-phase stack-of-stars (PDIP-SOS) MRI technique provides calcification visualization in peripheral artery disease (PAD). This study sought to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of a combined non-contrast quiescent-interval slice-selective (QISS) MRA and PDIP-SOS MRI protocol for the detection of PAD, in comparison with CTA and digital subtraction angiography (DSA).
