Application of magnetic resonance angiography to neurosurgical practice: a critical review of 150 cases.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Transient ischemic attack (TIA) with carotid artery disease (CAD) can increase the risk of cognitive decline. However, the neural mechanisms of the disorder remain unclear. The aim of this study was, using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), to detect microstructural changes in patients with symptomatic CAD pres...
