Abstract
chemical composition of tissues. DECT was ini‑ tially designed for the detection of uric acid renal calculi and was serendipitously expanded so this technique could be used to detect monosodium urate deposits in other body parts [5]. The con‑ cept behind DECT is based on the principle that compounds with different atomic weights will absorb the x‑ray beam by different degrees. The two different data sets are subsequently analyzed by specialized software that allows for accurate separation of materials from one another, in other words, monosodium urate from adjacent soft tissues and calcium.
