Les tophi apparaissant en hypo-UH (unités houndsfield) : Index bi-énergie faible (160-170 UH) par rapport à celui élevé de dépôts calciques (450 UH) [15,16] L'imagerie par résonance magnétique est irremplaçable notamment pour mieux définir l'épidurite compressive, la spondylodiscite ou le tissu réactionnel vascularisé autour du tophus. La biopsie disco-vertébrale doit être associée à l'imagerie pour asseoir le diagnostic [10,12].…”
