Detection of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in knee meniscus by dual-energy computed tomography

BACKGROUND: Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals are commonly observed in osteoarthritic joints. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy of a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for detecting CPPD crystals in knee meniscus. METHODS: Twenty-six patients undergoing primary t...
