Transient Ischemic Attack: Which Determines Diffusion-Weighted Image Positivity?

Diffusion-weighted image (DWI) of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can reveal high signal lesion in up to 50% of transient ischemic attack (TIA) patients. However, it is not well-known which factors determine developing DWI positivity. In order to answer this question, we analyzed factors relevant to DWI positivity in TIA patients.
