Halitosis: If you are asking if an MRI caused you to have bad breath, the answer us no. Sometimes when a cat-scan is taken, you are made to drink "contrast" or given an IV infusion. These could alter your breath for a short period if time. This should go away in hours, not days or weeks.

See your dentist: Rule out any dental problems, and then see your physician for guidance as to how to treat your condition.
