What is the Current and Potential Future Role of Imaging in the Investigation of Patients with Suspected Meniere's Disease?

چکیده
Meniere's disease (MD) represents a diagnostic challenge. It's symptoms of episodic vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a sense of aural fullness share overlap with multiple other conditions. It remains a diagnosis of exclusion, with imaging only used to rule out other pathologies, notably acoustic neuroma. Technological advance has brought increased resolution to the inner ear. In the future it is likely that MD will become a radiological diagnosis.

Eccrine carcinoma is an extremely rare malignant skin cancer arising from eccrine sweat glands with a high metastatic potential. It mainly occurs in the elderly, with equal incidence in both sexes. It usually spreads to regional lymph nodes, with liver, lungs, and bones being the most common sites of distant metastasis. Because of tumor rarity, little is known about the value of F18- FDG PET/CT...
