Question

what is the recommended imaging modality for confirming the diagnosis of cppd crystal deposition disease?
magnetic resonance imaging (mri)
x - ray
computed tomography (ct)
ultrasound

Explanation:

X - ray is often the initial and recommended imaging modality for CPPD crystal deposition disease as it can show characteristic chondrocalcinosis, which are calcium - containing deposits in the cartilage. MRI and CT may not be as specific for initial diagnosis and ultrasound has limitations in detecting early or subtle changes compared to X - ray for this condition.

Answer:

B. X - ray
