A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ROENTGENOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES FOR DETECTION OF CALCIUM PYROPHOSPHATE DIHYDRATE DEPOSITS (PSEUDOGOUT) IN HUMAN CARTILAGE

Roentgenograms of 180 joints were made employing 4 different types of film in an attempt to define an optimum technique for the study of pseudogout. Using the factors described, medical no-screen and industnial AA film were found to be best. Pseudogout (articular chondrocalcinosis) is defined by the presence of the calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal. It is suggested that the technique described here provides a more reliable roentgenographic method for the detection of calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposits in cartilage.
