Abstract
The aim of this study was to discuss the diagnostic value of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) in patients with gout during different disease phases. Two hundred twenty-one patients (136 with gout and 85 with other arthritic diseases) were recruited to the study. Arthrosis pain was evaluated in all patients by DECT scans. We calculated the sensitivity and specificity of DECT for the diagnosis of gout, including the first onset period, less...
