Abstract

Objective To investigate the application value of dual source dual energy CT in the detection of gout crystals. Methods The dual energy CT findings of 30 patients with gout and 12 patients with hyperuricemia were analyzed retrospectively. Results Uric acid crystal deposition was detected in30 patients with gout, including 17 cases of single joint involvement and 13 cases of multiple joints involvement. The interphalangeal joint and its surrounding soft tissue were the most obvious. There were 4 cases were found uric acid deposit by DECT in 12 patients with hyperuricemia. Conclusion Dual-source dual-energy CT has the advantages of simple, non-invasive, rapid, sensitive, accurate and repeatable. It can be used as the preferred method for diagnosis, evaluation of therapeutic effect and screening of high-risk gout population..
