Résumé

In gout, several types of dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) artifacts have been described (nail bed, skin, beam hardening, submillimeter and vascular artifacts), which can lead to overdiagnosis. The objective of this study was to determine the optimal DECT settings for post processing in order to reduce the frequency of some common artifacts in patients with suspected gout.
