Imagery as Biomarker of Gout
Sponsor: Lille Catholic University
Summary
The objective of this study is to determine whether MSU crystal deposits visualized on ultrasound and/or DECT are associated with the development of symptomatic gout (according to ACR 2015 / EULAR criteria) over 5 years in hyperuricemic individuals.
