Gouty arthritis: Can we avoid unnecessary dual-energy CT examinations using prior radiographs?

OBJECTIVE: The dual-energy CT (DECT) algorithm for urate detection is feasible only if hyperdense deposits are present. Based on our experience, around half of the performed DECT examinations show no such deposits and thus were useless for this indication. Our diagnostic accuracy study investigates...
