Ideally, get a 3 Tesla MRI, which should be able to discriminate to nearly a millimeter level of accuracy.
CT scans with contrast can’t handle a variety of soft tissue concerns as well as MRIs. That said, with contrast, CTs/CTA do help.

Don't follow where they are going with this. Talking about using a diagnostic tool, but never a mention of resulting diagnoses.
According to an ER doctor whom I met (in an ER) the most common cause of ER presentations of dizziness in people over 50 is vertigo. I'm only a superannuated manufacturing engineer, but I fail to see how either MRI or CTA would show that up in any case.
