A member asked:
Is it possible to have a headache after a mri with contrast? i have had the test before without a headache
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible BUT..: The question is does the MRI have any causal relationship to the mri? Many, "reactions" attributed to all sorts of radiological procedures have been shown to be co-incidental. I doubt the MRI had anything to do with your headache.
