Dual energy CT findings in gout with rapid kilovoltage-switching source with gemstone scintillator detector

Abstract Background A definite diagnosis of gout requires demonstration of monosodium urate crystals in synovial fluid or in tophi, which in clinical practice today seldom is done. Dual energy CT (DECT) has repeatedly been shown to be able to detect monosodium urate crystals in tissues, hence being...
