Background Hyperuricaemia, the biochemical precursor to gout, has been shown to be an
independent risk factor for mortality from cardiovascular disease (CVD), although studies …

Gout is one of the most common inflammatory arthritides. The literature reveals that
management of this condition is often suboptimal. Imaging techniques, such as ultrasound …

Objective The primary objective of this prospective case-control study was to assess the
diagnostic value of several intra-articular and periarticular ultrasound (US)-detected …

Introduction In this study, we aimed to investigate ultrasonographic (US) changes suggestive
of gouty arthritis in the hyaline cartilage, joints and tendons from asymptomatic individuals …

Objective. To produce consensus-based definitions of the US elementary lesions in gout
and to test their reliability in a web-based exercise. Methods. The process consisted of two …

Objectives To assess the reliability of the OMERACT ultrasound (US) definitions for the
identification of calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) at the metacarpal …

Objective Criteria for sonographic diagnosis of monosodium urate (MSU) crystal deposition
have been developed, but the interreader reproducibility of this modality is not well …

Objective. To define the ultrasonographic characteristics of calcium pyrophosphate crystal
(CPP) deposits in joints and periarticular tissues and to evaluate the intra-and interobserver …

Objective. To test the reliability of the consensus-based ultrasound (US) definitions of
elementary gout lesions in patients. Methods. Eight patients with microscopically proven …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to describe the role of advanced imaging using
ultrasound, CT, and MRI in the assessment and diagnosis of gout. CONCLUSION. Dual …
