X-ray Mastoid

The mastoid or the mastoid process is a conical-shaped bone projecting from the temporal bone that lies behind the ears. A radiograph taken to evaluate the mastoid bone is known as a mastoid X-ray. It is difficult to radiograph the mastoid bone because of the presence of thick tissues surrounding it, superimposing shadows, and the difficult position of the patient to take a mastoid-process radiograph. Schuller's view is a lateral radiographic view of the skull used to examine the mastoid bone.
