MRCP2-3570

An 80-year-old man comes to the emergency department complaining of slurred speech and right-sided facial drooping that occurred after lunch. He mentions that the symptoms mostly resolved within ten minutes of onset but took another five minutes to fully disappear.

Upon examination, there are no remaining signs of dysphasia or facial droop, and his neurological exam is normal.

Which imaging technique would be the best choice for this patient?
