Background Provisional gout remission criteria including five domains (serum urate, tophus,
flares, pain due to gout, and patient global assessment) have been proposed. The aim of …

Introduction Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) has potential for monitoring urate
deposition in patients with gout. The aim of this prospective longitudinal study was to …

Objective Dual-energy CT (DECT) detects and quantifies monosodium urate (MSU) crystal
deposition with high precision. This DECT study assessed crystal deposition in patients with …

Background Predicting the risk of flares in patients with gout is a challenge and the link
between urate burden and the risk of gout flare is unclear. The objective of this study was to …

Objective To investigate whether baseline monosodium urate (MSU) burden estimated by
ultrasound (US) predicts the achievement of the 2016 remission criteria for gout after 12 …

Background Ultrasonography (US) and dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) can
assess urate burden in gout. The objective of this study was to compare the quantification of …

Objective The gouty tophus is an organized structure composed of monosodium urate
(MSU) crystals and chronic inflammatory soft tissue. This dual‐energy computed …

Objective To investigate the relationships between changes in serum urate levels and dual‐
energy computed tomography (DE‐CT) results during urate‐lowering therapy (ULT) and to …

Background The aim of this study was to compare the frequency and volume of dual energy
CT (DECT) urate deposits in people with asymptomatic hyperuricaemia and symptomatic …

Objective To develop a semiquantitative dual‐energy computed tomography (DECT) scoring
system for measurement of urate deposition in gout. Methods Following a structured review …
