Acute dizziness and vertigo remain challenging even when emergency MR imaging is readily available. One in 4 patients had acute pathology on MR imaging. Predictors for acute pathology (older age, male sex, cardiovascular risk factors, and neurologic signs) may aid in patient selection for MR imaging, optimizing the yield and clinical impact of emergency neuroimaging. Low diagnostic yields of CT and internal acoustic canal MR imaging may offer an opportunity to reduce health care expenditures in the future.
