Quantitative diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI)–derived variables of the 59 transient ischemic attack (TIA) lesions according to imaging outcome

Reversible (n = 14)Infarction (n = 45)P Value
DWI volume, cm3 (mean ± SD)0.21 ± 0.210.91 ± 1.7.003
Absolute ADC, 10−6 mm2/s (mean ± SD)722 ± 118631 ± 135.022
rADC (mean ± SD)91 ± 9%79 ± 15%.001
  • Note:— rADC corresponds to apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) within the TIA lesion divided by the mirror ADC value.
