After the ProcedureIf a contrast injection is used, the IV is removed from the arm before the person goes home. No side effects from the scan or the contrast injection should occur. In the rare circumstance that sedation is needed, that person is sent home once awake and alert. For those people who receive sedation, someone must drive them home. No aftereffects occur from having an MRI.
