Researchers from University of Pennsylvania Detail New Studies and Findings in the Area of Tinnitus (Imaging of Pulsatile Tinnitus).

A report from the University of Pennsylvania discusses the topic of pulsatile tinnitus, which refers to the perception of a heartbeat-like sound in the absence of external stimulus. The report highlights that while pulsatile tinnitus is less common than nonpulsatile tinnitus, it can indicate an underlying disease that may pose a risk to the patient if left undiagnosed. The report emphasizes the importance of a thorough examination and appropriate imaging in identifying the cause of pulsatile tinnitus and guiding management strategies. The researchers propose a structured framework to aid radiologists and clinicians in diagnosing and managing patients with pulsatile tinnitus. [Extracted from the article]
