Best Answer

There basically is no harm because the radiation levels are so low that due to its half life, almost all radiation is gone before the patient leaves the clinic. Any remaining radioactive material is eliminated by urination. A minor risk of the procedure is that patients may experience temporary soreness or redness in their arms where the IV was inserted.
