Our Gout Service leverages Dual Energy CT (DECT) imaging to accurately identify urate crystal deposits within joints, a hallmark of gout, which is an inflammatory arthritis causing severe pain and swelling. This service provides various imaging outputs, such as batch images, multiplanar reconstructions (MPR), visual reconstruction (VR) movies, and color-coded imaging.

These imaging techniques may offer healthcare providers clear, comprehensive views that facilitate the precise detection and assessment of urate crystal deposits. The color-coded imaging feature specifically highlights urate crystals in distinct colors, distinguishing them from other tissues and materials. These images may offer clarity when diagnosing gout, evaluating its severity, and informing treatment strategies.
