One Response to “Dr. Kevin Klauer Responds to Criticism of Diagnostic Imaging for Dizziness Myths Article”
June 21, 2015
Brian Shippert, DODr. Klauer,
I appreciate highlighting the limitations of CT imaging for evaluation of dizziness and the posterior fossa. I also appreciate Dr. Edlow’s highlights of a high quality physical examination. The HiNTS exam (Head Impulse-Nystagmus-Test of Skew) should also be highlighted for obvious cost benefits and for those providers with limited access to magnetic resonance imaging.
