The physician must be the captain of the vestibular diagnostic team based on his interest, knowledge, and capability. It is not the battery of vestibular or etiologic function tests used that provides diagnostic answers. It is the intelligent application and use of the indicated vestibular tests that are practically correlated and clinically evaluated that will give the knowledgeable physician significant information. This can best be accomplished when testing is done in physical proximity to the responsible physician and when the tests used are knowledgeably ordered and evaluated. Under such circumstances, vestibular function testing is always cost-effective and therapeutically useful.
基于其兴趣、知识和能力，医生必须成为前庭诊断团队的负责人。提供诊断答案的并非所使用的一系列前庭或病因功能测试。而是对所指示的前庭测试进行明智的应用和使用，并进行实际关联和临床评估，这将为知识渊博的医生提供重要信息。当测试在负责医生的实际操作范围内进行，且所使用的测试是经过明智安排和评估时，这一点能得到最佳实现。在这种情况下，前庭功能测试始终具有成本效益且对治疗有益。
