We describe the CT and sonographic appearance of 15 costal cartilage fractures observed in eight patients.
On CT, fracture was seen as a low-density area through the costal cartilage, with surrounding calcifications present near old fractures, and gas density within the cleft in some cases. On sonography, cartilage fracture appeared as an interruption of the smooth anterior aspect of the cartilage.
我们描述了在8例患者中观察到的15处肋软骨骨折的CT和超声表现。
在CT上,骨折表现为肋软骨内的低密度区,陈旧性骨折附近有周围钙化,部分病例裂隙内有气体密度影。在超声检查中,软骨骨折表现为软骨光滑前缘的中断。
