Are gout cyrstals visable on an MRI?

Not on my MRI (with and without contrast), but the MRI detected a highly inflamed synovial membrane not responsive to treatments with NSAIDs and corticosteroids.

So I was remitted to a knee surgeon he planned a knee arthroscopy and he found large crystal deposits.
