Diffusion MRI in Patients with Transient Ischemic Attacks Stroke 30:1174-1180, Kidwell,C.S.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Diffusion MRI demonstrates ischemic abnormalities in nearly half of clinically defined TIA patients. The percentage of patients with a DWI lesion increases with increasing total symptom duration. In nearly half, the diffusion MRI cha nges may be fully reversible, while in the remainder the diffusion MRI findings herald the development of a parenchymal infarct despite transient clinical symptoms. Finally, diffusion imaging results have significant clinical utility, frequently changing the presumed localization and etiologic mechanism.
