1H-MR Spectroscopy Changes in Transient Ischemic Attack Patients and Their Correlation with Perfusion-Weighted Imaging

Abstract

TIA patients have neurological deficits that are transient; however, metabolic damage to the brain is present up to 3 days after the onset of the symptoms. These metabolic changes are not restricted to the symptomatic hemisphere or to areas close to ischemic lesions and the changes are related in the CBF.
