    Looking for Pulsatile Tinnitus Specialist in the DC, MD, VA Area

    I don't believe they are specific to PT. My guess is that this is a standard test listed on a menu of available radiological services that most closely matched what the Dr. needs to examine. Perhaps another Tinnitus Talk member can provide more clarity.
