Question

CT is the best imaging modality to demonstrate possible bony destruction within the mastoid region in cases of acute mastoiditis. CT can provide high-resolution images of bone and detect both cortical and trabecular bone erosion. Nuclear medicine and PET are useful in certain situations but are not the best choice for this specific scenario. Ultrasound is not a reliable imaging modality for evaluating bony structures.
