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.
