Clinical images: Cinematic rendering of tophaceous gout

Abstract

A 77 year-old-man with a complex medical history, notable for multiple myeloma in remission and gout, presented for noncontrast Computed Tomography (CT) of the right upper extremity using dual energy technique, from which cinematic rendered images were created (Figure 1). The cinematic rendered images provide a unique, photorealistic, three-dimensional representation of the extensive tophi and their relationship to the adjacent structures within the hand.
