Many things: Several things can be seen, mainly that would have to do with the appearance of the Brain, such as possible infections, tumors, inflammation, old infarctions, etc. BUT not the IQ.

Can't see IQ: A brain MRI can visualize many different illnesses, including tumors, bleeding, strokes, etc. IQ is not an illness and cannot be determined on MRI
