Does cortizone from a shot interfere with MRI imaging?

Cortisone injections typically do not interfere with MRI imaging. The corticosteroids used in these injections are not magnetic and do not produce artifacts that would affect the quality of MRI scans. However, it's important to inform the radiologist or technician about any recent cortisone shots, as they may influence the interpretation of imaging results or the timing of the MRI. Always consult with your healthcare provider for specific medical advice.
