Overview

In mastoiditis, MRI plays a role in the detection of cholesteatoma and when intracranial or intratemporal complications are suspected. Specifically, MRI has shown superiority in assessing the severity of intracranial involvement and abscess border visualization. Both CT and MRI are used in the evaluation of mastoiditis and its complications.
