Is The Artifact Within A Sulcus In The Frontal Lobe Causing Vertigo And Dizziness?

hi, I had an mri report and it shows a small blooming artifact along the left surface of the frontal lobe-within a sulcus ?? thiscould represent an old small focus of bleed-cavernoma but could represent a calcification. Ct was recommended to establish the difference. Do you think it is necessary to do the ct scan ? I had 2 episodes of severe vertigo and vomiting and was taken to the hospital.I am still dizzy and I try to find out what is wrong with me .The conclusion of the mri report was:no explanation for vertigo and vomiting.What do you think? thank you for taking my question !
