Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Taeko Ito"
- Taeko Ito's research primarily focuses on the evaluation of endolymphatic space (ELS) in relation to various vestibular disorders, particularly using advanced imaging techniques such as contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to understand the structural changes associated with conditions like Meniere's disease and benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV).
- His recent studies explore the volumetric analysis of the endolymphatic space and its implications in diagnosing and differentiating vestibular diseases, as well as the relationship between vestibular function tests, such as the caloric test and video head impulse test, highlighting discrepancies in results and potential contributing factors.
- Additionally, Ito's research expands into motion sickness susceptibility, examining the neural and morphological factors that contribute to individuals' variability in symptoms, alongside investigating therapeutic approaches like vestibular rehabilitation and its impact on patient outcomes.
