Not always. Before a routine MRI scan no GFR test is needed. Some MRI scans will require an injection of a drug (contrast) which is used to highlight different aspects of blood supply.

What is a functional MRI?
Functional MRI is an MRI procedure to determine activation in the brain during activities or in disease condition. Also known as fMRI. fMRI uses the same MRI machine as other examinations but it requires special additional software. Detection of activation in the brain is determined by the oxygen content in the blood vessel under the premise that oxygen level is high when the brain is activated.
