Transient Ischemic attack (TIA) is a long lasting stroke. A stroke is typically short term but TIA is long lasting. You might feel the same symptoms as you might get in a stroke. A TIA might occur when a blood clot hampers the blood flow to your brain for a brief period of time. The attack can last for a few seconds to upto 24 hours.

MRI TIA protocol is a sequence of MRI scans or a combined study that reveal improved diagnosis.

Purpose

A TIA MRI protocol is done when the patients have acute infarction which can  be visualised in MRI. Associations were found with neurological symptoms, speech dysfunction and weakness. 

MRI TIA Protocol Parameters

Given below are the parameters of TIA (Transient Ischemic Attack) protocol with its description.

Test Parameters Description
Screening of Brain The screening of Brain in this protocol is considered to be non-contrast MRI comprising of a group of the basic MRI sequences in a useful approach when the imaging of brain is considered (e.g. severe headache). The protocol would be designed to further obtain a general overview of the brain.
DWI The DWI is known to have important advantages and mostly do not require any contrast medium. It is a quick technique and would be able to provide any qualitative and the quantitative information for the tumor assessment
MRA Head and Neck It can provide any powerful noninvasive imaging of cervical and the intracranial vessels. This allows for the detection and the diagnosis of any vascular anomalies. MRA includes the supplements, using the same examination, with analysis by of the head and neck by MRI of cerebral parenchyma.

Procedure

The patient is asked to lie on a scan table which will slide into the donut shaped scanner. For a clear and precise image production, the patient needs to lie perfectly stable during the test. The test might take around an hour. While scanning, the machine produces loud clicking and popping noise, the patients are given headphones or earplugs with a white noise playing in ut to cancel this noise. Once the scan is done, the table will slide out of the scanner.

  • If you have a Cardiac pacemaker, Cardiac defibrillator or artificial heart valve
  • Any implant such as Ear implant (cochlear implant)
  • If for a  brain aneurysm a surgical clip was used.
  • Implanted medicine infusion ports
  • If you have Pins, screws, plates, stents or surgical staples or a metallic rod in leg or arm which is usually placed after a severe fracture
  • If you have implanted nerve stimulator
  • If you are claustrophobic

After care

You can resume your normal daily activities after the TIA MRI protocol. If you were given a medication/sedative you might need someone to drive you home as you might feel dizzy for a few hours. If you were given a contrast you might need to stayback for a few hours to monitor your vitals.
