Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the potential usefulness of new functional MRI in diagnostic assessment of patients presenting with vertigo.

Conditions

  • Vertigo

Interventions

DEVICE

Functional MRI imaging

The functional MRI imaging of whole brain will be obtained before, during and after the vestibular response which is induced by the designated caloric stimulation. Post-imaging analysis will reveal which region or neural pathways in the central nervous system may attributed to the development of vertigo.
