[What do MRI and CT scan provide us in patients with vertigo and dizziness? A cost-utility analysis].

CONCLUSIONS: A large number of head CT and MRI are made in patients with vertigo and dizziness. A clinical suspicion is recommended from the anamnesis and exploration to make a good selection of test to request. In more than 90% of cases, radiological findings are not shown in relation to vertigo. PMID: 30963529 [PubMed - in process]
