Detection of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystals in knee meniscus by dual-energy computed tomography
Abstract Background Calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals are commonly observed in osteoarthritic joints. The aim of our study was to investigate the efficacy of a dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) for detecting CPPD crystals in knee meniscus. Methods Twenty-six patients undergoing pr...
