[A case of extreme gouty arthritis, shown xeroradiographically (author's transl)].

A case of extreme, obviously lead-induced gouty arthritis is described testing xerography for typical gouty changes. Xerography is less effective in showing differences of density than film-techniques. But highly structures shapes or their sudden abolition will be particularly clear owing to the effect of contour reinforcement. Defects of bone induced by tophi and new formations can be identified with certainly.
