An 84-year-old male patient, suffering from long-term arthrosis, had been treated for hyperuricemia. Recently, although the serum uric acid test results were normal, the patient had been complaining of pain in the right foot. A TwinBeam Dual Energy (TBDE) CT scan was requested for further evaluation.

The outcomes by Siemens Healthineers customers described herein are based on results that were achieved in the customer’s unique setting. Since there is no “typical” hospital and many variables exist (e.g., hospital size, case mix, level of IT adoption) there can be no guarantee that other customers will achieve the same results.
