Overview
DW MRI scan may help determine the evidence of ongoing ischemia in patients with transient ischemic stroke and may help predict the patients prone to develop ischemic stroke. It may help differentiate tissue injury due to mild ischemia from infarction. It may also identify small infarcts that may not be identified by CT scan or plain MRI.[1][2][3]
MRI
Neuroimaging plays an important role to rule out the diagnosis of ischemic stroke and stratify risk for the development of future stroke in patients with ischemic stroke. According to AHA/ASA, MRI is the preffered initial brain imaging recommended for patients having TIA or minor stroke within 24 hours of symptom onset.[1][2][3]
DWI MRI
DW MRI scan may help determine the evidence of ongoing ischemia in patients with transient ischemic stroke and may help predict the patients prone to develop ischemic stroke. It may help differentiate tissue injury due to mild ischemia from infarction. It may also identify small infarcts that may not be identified by CT scan or plain MRI.[1][2][3]
