Low-dose computed tomography as diagnostic tool in calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease arthropathy: focus on ligamentous calcifications of the wrist.
CONCLUSIONS: Calcifications of carpal ligaments are highly specific morphologic features of CPPD arthropathy. Low-dose CT is a useful tool to detect these calcifications at a radiation exposure similar to a standard radiograph.
