  Fig. 1 Ultrasound imaging of the iliotibial band shows hypoechoic changes (white arrowhead) (A), intra-tendinous hypervascularity (B), spurs (black arrowhead) formation of the Gerdy’s tubercle (C), and partial tear (arrow) (D).

  Fig. 2 Bursitis (asterisk) of the iliotibial band (arrowheads) can be delineated in the panoramic view of ultrasound imaging (A) with peripheral hypervascularity (B). The thickness (double headed arrow) (C) and cross-sectional area (yellow dashed line) (D) of the iliotibial band can be easily measured by using ultrasound.
