alergic to iodinated contrast dye
In 2001 after catherization I developed hives. Now I need a ct scan. Doctor said I would be okay with an oral solution. I am still worried. Should I go to a hospital to do this instead of a radiology center.
Hello and welcome to MedHelp's forums. Thank you for your question. Please speak to the prescribing doctor of this test as well as the center in which you would undergo the CT scan. Not all CT's use contrast dye. They should be able to use an alternative for you if you have a known allergy. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0741521412021143
