About this trial
Chronic peripherial arthritides are common diseases with soaring public health consequences. Our goal is to assess the role of photon-counting detector computed tomography in the diagnostics of peripherial arthropathies.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Bone erosions
To assess the detection of arthritis-related bone erosions with different imaging techniques, including PCD-CT.
Bone marrow edema and periarticular soft tissue involvement
To assess the detection of arthritis-related bone marrow edema and periarticular soft tissue with different imaging techniques, including PCD-CT.
Crystal deposit characterization
To detect the different crystal deposits with PCD-CT.
Secondary outcomes
To evaluate the performance of PCD-CT in the detection of active arthritis-related imaging findings and structural damages.
To compare the performance of PCD-CT with different modalities in the diagnostics of peripherial arthropathies.
