Abstract:
Clinical imaging investigation of vertigo is actually mainly performed using MRI, which offers a detailed analysis of cochieo-vestibular nerve and labyrinth. Computed tomography is reserved to the analysis of bony structures. Several causes of vertigo are described, e.g. tumours, labyrinthitis, malformations, Ménière's disease, otoscierosis, trauma, cholesteatomas and postoperative changes. The interest of imaging is discussed. The necessity to perform paraclinical tests prior to diagnostic imaging to optimise the choice of imaging is emphasized.

Types of Echocardiography
Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE)
TTE is the most common type of echocardiogram which involves placing a transducer on the patient's chest, emitting sound waves to create heart images. TTE is invaluable for evaluating the heart's size, structure, and motion, making it particularly useful for diagnosing...
