Chondrocalcinosis is diagnosed primarily through imaging techniques, particularly X-rays or ultrasounds, which reveal calcification in cartilage. In some cases, a joint fluid analysis (arthrocentesis) may be performed to identify calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate (CPPD) crystals under polarized light microscopy. Clinical evaluation of symptoms and patient history also plays a crucial role in the diagnosis.
