Abstract
- Main Teaching Point: Dual-energy CT is a valuable asset in the detection of extra-articular manifestations of gout Extra-articular manifestations of gout are common. The Achilles tendon is a frequently affected site, and uric acid deposition may have harmful effects on tendon structure and function. Advanced imaging can aid in early diagnosis, follow-up of disease activity and therapy efficacy. This case series highlights the use of dual-energy CT as a tool in diagnosing gout and in detecting extra-articular manifestations.
