Q: what does it mean when your x ray mastoid says questionable partial opacification in the left mastoid air cells?

: Are you having any symptoms? This could be a sign of a sinus infection or sinusitis from another cause. You should follow up with the doctor who ordered the test to find out what the diagnosis is and what treatment you need, if any. If there is any uncertainty, you can see an ear, nose and throat doctor for evaluation. Good luck to you!
