Dual-Energy CT as a Potential New Diagnostic Tool in the Management of Gout in the Acute Setting

Abstract: The ability of dual-energy CT to diagnose early gout and its use as a problem-solving tool is shown here. Diagnosis of subclinical gout could avert associated long-term complications, thereby reducing disease burden and improving overall quality of life.

“…Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can accurately identify monosodium urate deposits in the soft tissues and joints. 40,41 DECT is of value in cases of diagnostic uncertainty or where joint aspiration is difficult. Screening is not recommended in asymptomatic HU as the risk benefit of treating these patients is unknown.…”

“…The clinical diagnosis of spinal gout remains a challenge because the common presenting findings such as fever, leukocytosis, and elevated systemic inflammatory markers such as sedimentation rate more commonly suggest infection [9][10][11][12]. Fortunately, characteristic findings on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [13,14], computed tomography (CT) [15,16], or ultrasound [17] serve as useful adjuncts for proper diagnosis of spinal gout. Successful medical and surgical management of spinal gout has been previously described in the literature [1,4,[18][19][20].…”
