Overview
On ultrasound, the osteochondroma cartilage cap is visualized accurately as a hypoechoic region bounded by bone.[1]
Ultrasound
- Hypoechoic region bounded by bone.
- Enables accurate assessment of the cartilage cap of exostoses
- Hypoechoic layer covering the hyperechoic surface is a common finding in the the osteochondroma cartilage cap.
