 Radiographs—in cases where an abscess is firmly attached to underlying bone, radiographs can help determine whether there is bony involvement and osteomyelitis.

 Ultrasound—abscesses (regardless of their location) have a hyperechogenic capsule that creates intense acoustic shadowing with a hypoechogenic interior, especially when they still have a liquid content (the first stage of internal caseum formation). In advanced stages, there is a thin layer of fibrin that surrounds the abscess and under it the inflammatory liquid that forms the internal caseum.
