Overview
Other imaging findings, include nuclear medicine (bone scintigraphy) in which osteochondroma shows increased uptake on bone scans. Conversely, presence of increased activity in adults should raise the possibility of a complication (e.g. fracture, malignancy).[1]
Other Imaging Findings
Scintigraphy
- Bone scintigraphy may be useful as a diagnostic tool for the evaluation of osteochondromas.
- This imaging study has a limited specificity, it is usually correlated with other imaging studies.
- Scintigraphy findings in osteochondroma, may include:[1]
- Increased uptake on bone (related with a high possibility of complication)
