Prescription medication is the least likely to affect the results and interpretation of a functional MRI.

Here are some of the factors that is most likely to affect the results of MRI :

- Caffeinated soda. Caffeinated soda tend to constrict the blood vessels in the brain, which will affect MRI results.
- cancerous growth, will create a huge shadow on MRI results
- sprained ankle, especially if it was fixed with metal bandage, will cause harm during MRI
