  Complex regional pain syndrome or CRPS, its subtypes CRPS I: no nerve injury, CRPS II: definitive nerve injury, characterized clinically by pain, vasomotor disturbances, trophic skin changes, and radiographically by regional osteoporosis and bone resorption poses diagnostic challenges. Objective: Multimodality Imaging characterization of CRPS, and clinical and imaging phenotypes. Materials and methods:Fifty-seven patients in the age range of 33-65, the mean age of 49, 35 men (61.40%), 22 Women (38.60%) underwent this observational diagnostic accuracy study at Pratima Institute of Medical Sciences(Karimnagar Telangana, India). The multimodality imaging protocol on Radiography (Diagnox 302, Philips), Ultrasound Doppler (Infinity Philips), Low dose Multi-slice CT(Ingenuity), MRI (1.5T Achieva, PHILIPS Health care) ) for characterization of CRPS phenotypes after IRB approval.
