ABSTRACT
The incidence of metabolic rheumatism gout has been increasing with a trend of more younger patients and atypical symptoms. Typical gout is easy to be diagnosed, but it is difficult for atypical cases. Finding uric acid crystal in articular fluid by polarizing light microscope is a gold standard of diagnosis, but it is an invasive diagnostic method and difficult to be widely used. The patients need further imaging examination for assistance of diagnosis and guide of follow-up treatment. This article reviews the research progress of different imaging methods used for diagnosis of gouty arthritis.
