Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy is an advanced diagnostic facility with NABL and NABH accreditations. This scan provides you with X-ray imaging. An X-ray Left Mastoid AP View is a type of imaging that provides a picture of the mastoid area on the left side of the head. Mastoid refers to the bony area behind the ear and contains small air cells. This may help to view the visible structure of the mastoid bone and identify certain abnormalities.
What is X-Ray Left Mastoid AP View?
An X-ray Left Mastoid AP View is a diagnostic imaging technique that uses X-rays to provide an image of the left mastoid area. The anteroposterior view provides a specific view of the mastoid bone. This is a non-invasive test that can be performed in a short period of time. The radiologist will look at the images to identify any visible abnormalities. The findings will then be interpreted based on the patient's symptoms and medical history.
Conditions Evaluated
Mastoiditis
Mastoiditis is an infection or inflammation of the mastoid bone and air cells. An X-ray may show some changes to the appearance of the air cells. Further imaging may be required for detailed investigation.
Chronic Otitis Media
Chronic otitis media refers to a long-term infection or inflammation of the middle ear. As the middle ear is connected to the mastoid air cells, this investigation may help identify changes to the mastoid area.
Mastoid Air Cell Opacification
Air cells in the mastoid should appear relatively clear. If they are not, then this may indicate fluid, inflammation or other changes. This may be due to the air cells not being filled with air.
Structural Abnormalities of the Mastoid Bone
This investigation may help to identify certain visible changes to the structure of the left mastoid bone. Further imaging may be advised.
Middle Ear-Related Complications
Some conditions affecting the middle ear may affect the mastoid area. This X-ray may provide some information regarding changes to the bones.
