Does gout show up on an ultrasound of the foot?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Unlikely: Ultrasound generally does not have the resolution to show uric acid crystals in you feet joint spaces but might show some degree of degeneration. There are better ways to diagnose gout and effective treatment is available. See your family doctor to get started.
