Conditions Evaluated
Mastoiditis
This is an infection or inflammation of the mastoid bone and air pockets. An X-ray can help identify changes to the appearance of the air pockets.
Chronic Otitis Media
This is a chronic inflammation or infection of the middle ear. As the middle ear is connected to the mastoid air pockets, this scan can help identify any changes to this area.
Mastoid Air Cell Opacification
The mastoid air pockets appear air-filled. If they do not appear clear, they may indicate fluid or inflammation. This needs to be correlated with clinical findings.
Structural Abnormalities of the Mastoid Bone
This scan can help identify some visible changes to the shape of the right mastoid bone. Further imaging may be required if further detail is required.
Middle Ear-Related Complications
