X-Ray Mastoid Lateral View

An X-ray of the mastoid, a bone of the skull that may be found directly behind the ear, is a harmless and painless diagnostic that can visualize the mastoid. This bone is made up of air spaces and cells that are responsible for helping to keep the ear clean and drain properly.

Why is it done?

* To rule out possible disorders such as otitis media (ear infection) and cholesteatoma (abnormal skin growth in the middle ear behind the eardrum).
* To examine the mastoid bones for any signs of damage or fracture.
* To determine the presence of a mastoid infection in the air spaces (mastoiditis)
