MRI result: An MRI is great at finding a stroke, evidence for MS, or a brain tumor. Even if a stroke occurred a long time ago, an MRI can usually see that it occurred, although it cannot show when it occurred, most often. If you have a TIA or a headache, the MRI is almost always normal.

Yes: MRI can visualize prior strokes, the lesions of MS, and a variety of other pathological conditions. It is a marvelous tool to assist clinical diagnostic confirmation.
