An X-Ray Left Mastoid Oblique is a specialized radiological scan of the mastoid bone behind the ear, performed in an oblique (angled) view. This scan helps in identifying mastoiditis (infection of the mastoid air cells), bone erosion, trauma, or congenital abnormalities. It is commonly prescribed when patients report persistent ear pain, swelling behind the ear, or hearing loss.
Medifyhome offers safe, efficient, and affordable diagnostic imaging with trusted NABL-certified labs. During the procedure, the patient’s head is tilted to capture the oblique view of the mastoid region, providing a detailed visualization of the bony air cells and inner ear structures.
