Abstract

CT is an imaging tomography using the original is useful to monitor the disease, such as bone fractures due to indicate the calcified tissue inflammation evaluated as not suitable for three-dimensional imaging the three-dimensional image. Among the various contents of these CT, we evaluated the usefulness of Dual Energy CT gout used for ventilation. The patients diagnosed with gout targeting Conventional CT examination and DECT 6 patients who underwent examination by Scan data is sent to the post refomation LEONARDO were using the gout software. Then reconstructing the 3D image using the Gout CTM CA, analyzed, and compared to previously used methods the new DECT. As a result, it was found that DECT is a more accurate location of the disease and the diagnosis is possible than the conventional method.
