Detecting of Gout and Rheumatic Diseases

The Dual Energy CT allows you to see the normal CT`s addition to the >Chemical Composition and Perfusion of tissues and organs. When Gout e.g. deposited in the painful Disease Relapses Uric Acid Crystals
proximate the affected joints from. The Symptoms of Gout are sometimes not always clear and there may be other Rheumatic Diseases as a differential Diagnosis are possible. The Dual Energy CT allows reliable Detection or Exclusion of these Uric acid deposits in the affected joints and can lead to faster at the right Diagnosis and Therapy.
