What Does Mild Under Aeration Of Mastoid Cells Shown On CT Scan Of Brain Mean?

Can you please explain me what does this medical report of CT scan of brain mean? "The underlying sinuses appear normal. There is mild under aeration of the mastoid air cells. No inflamatory change in this region."

I don't understand what "mild under aeration of mastoid cells" means. Thank you
