[Xeroradiography in comparison to roentgen studies in gout, hyperuricemia and dyspurinia].
In 24 patients with gout and in 15 patients with clinical oligo- and polyarthritic syndromes associated with hyperuricemia and dyspurinia xeroradiographic examinations of the clinically affected joints and soft tissues were carried out. In 32 cases comparisons were made with the classic x-ray examinations. In most cases the findings correlated, particularly the rarifaction of the bone structure including cystic changes of fingers and toes. In advanced cases, particularly in the hallux, erosions occurred and at the same time the changes in the soft tissues were recorded. Cystic changes in the larger bones were better estimated by the classical x-ray examinations. The soft tissues are shown better xeroradiographically. Xeroradiography has the advantage that it can record the structure of bones and soft tissue at the same time.
