A member asked:
32 years old male,i have visible 2 inch lump on left ribs ( rib 6 or 7) hard ,bone like no pain, what type of imaging help beside xray or ultrasound?

Depends on exam: These are quite common. This may be an old fracture, or it's fairly common to have a bone bump at the costochondral junction. If it were me, and the thing was growing, I'd settle for a plain x-ray film which should be enough to rule a worrisome tumor in or out.
