No. A magnetic resonance imaging machine does not cause dehydration. However, the medical reason for having the MRI may indeed be causing dehydration.

Dehydration is not listed as a side effect on the web site:

Some of the side effects listed are the same symptoms of dehydration, but are not an indication that the patient has lost water.

The contrast dye that is injected for some MRI scans may have its own issues though:
