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

Scintigraphy is a form of diagnostic test used in nuclear medicine, wherein radioisotopes are taken internally (normally, radiopharmaceuticals) and the emitted radiation is captured by external detectors. 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)
