Overview
An x-ray is done when gout is suspected to rule out other abnormalities of the bone that may be causing the pain. Most commonly in gout, the x-ray will show no abnormalities, or a small amount of soft tissue swelling.
X-ray
- Plain radiographs are often normal, although evidence of asymmetrical swelling and subcortical cysts without erosion may help to diagnose chronic gout.[1]
- Bone erosion on radiography is a feature of advanced gout and is characterised by a sclerotic rim and overhanging edge.[2]
