Abstract:
High-resolution sonography is a rapidly evolving technique that is gaining an increasing success in the assessment of crystalline arthropathies. In calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition disease, the sonographic features of crystal deposition include hyperchoic spots within hyaline cartilage and/or fibrocartilage and soft tissue calcifications. The aim of this pictorial essay was to present the main findings evocative of crystal deposition in patients with pyrophosphate arthropathy.

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...

X-ray Diffraction of Biological Samples
According to Bragg's law, when X-rays strike the sample positioned on a stage, the rays are scattered by the electron clouds around the sample atoms. The X-ray diffraction or scattering is caused by constructive interference of the X-ray waves that reflect off the internal crystal...
