one of the clasical indications of the dual-energy imaging with energy integrating dual-source systems is being uric acid detection in urinary stones and in gout. The spectral properties of the photon-counting data acquisition enables the inherent analysis of the arthritis uratica. the advanced involvement of the multiple joints of hands, ankles and feet could be displayed in the very high spatial reconstruction.
