Material decomposition approaches for monosodium urate (MSU) quantification in gouty arthritis: a (bio)phantom study
Dual-energy CT showed limited sensitivity for tophi with low MSU concentrations. Materiel-map-based decomposition increased sensitivity compared to conventional two-material decomposition. The advantages of material-map-based decomposition outweigh lower image quality and increased artifact load.
