RSNA musculoskeletal sessions showcase dual-energy CT applications, including gout

(DIAGNOSTIC IMAGING) -- RSNA Preview Musculoskeletal scientific sessions at the RSNA meeting will address the use of dual-energy CT in multiple settings, including the possibility of combined heart and bone density scans. Submitted papers also show the use of dual-energy CT for imaging other indications, such as gout.
