Does an MRI show inflammation?

If I get an MRI, is it possible that it could show any inflammation?

Yes, foot and ankle, body parts, musculoskeletal system, torn ligaments and tendons, traumatic conditions, spinal inflammatory processes.... Probably is the most sensitive test for these conditions. Central nervous system, arthritis, etc.
MRI is very good for finding inflammation, particularly following the injection of intravenous contrast.
Hope this helps.
