Patients with transient ischemic attack (TIA) are generally clinically unstable, with fear of developing a handicapping stroke. Identification of those at highest and lowest risk of stroke in the first days and weeks after a TIA would allow appropriate use of costly secondary prevention strategies. Objective: Incorporation of a clinical scoring system, neurovascular imaging, and MR - DWI to help predicting risk of developing an ischemic stroke following a TIA
