A member asked:
Mri for headaches/dizziness. report says probable minimal clouding of the mastoid air cells bilaterally. my doctor just said mri was normal. is it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably yes: Mris of brain frequently demonstrate non-specific changes in the mastoid air cells. The literature demonstrates that as high as 40 to 50% of mris of the head detect false positive changes in the mastoid air cells. A cat scan is the appropriate radiological test to detect mastoid and middle ear disease. Finally, if your hearing is normal and there is no drainage, mastoid films are not needed.
