Examination of monosodium urate crystals in the synovial fluid remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of gout. On ultra-sound (US) examination, the double contour sign (DCS) is one of the most common imaging findings of gout.

Virtual noncontrast images reveal gouty tophi in contrast-enhanced dual-energy CT: a phantom study
Background Dual-energy computed tomography (DECT) is useful for detecting gouty tophi. While iodinated contrast media (ICM) might enhance the detection of monosodium urate crystals (MSU), higher iodine concentrations hamper their detection.
