Echocardiography

• A cardiac rhabdomyoma can be discovered using echocardiography in approximately 50% of people with TSC.
• Echocardiography/ultrasound may be helpful raising the suspicion of tuberous sclerosis. Echocardiographs can detect cardiac rhabdomyomas, present in more than 80% of the children with TSC.

Ultrasound

• Ultrasound can detect hepatic angiomyolipomas, renal angiomyolipomas (present in 55-75% of patients) and renal cysts (present in 18-55% of the patients)
