X-ray Left Mastoid Oblique

What is an X-ray Left Mastoid Oblique Test?

Mastoid refers to the temporal bone of the skull lying behind the ear. The mastoid bone is examined from the side during the oblique view X-ray test. Low radio waves are sent through the ear and lower part of the head, just like an X-ray. The waves look at the inside of the area and make an image on the computer screen.
