Is thyroid CT scan with contrast safe?
A CT scan is usually an extremely safe procedure. The only risk involved with a CT scan is the amount of radiation you receive. One CT scan radiation is not very serious. Repeating CT scans too often could increase the risk of radiation side effects. The use of contrast is quite safe provided you are not allergic to iodine or other contrast ingredients. Your doctor MUST check your renal function before you receive IV contrast. IV contrast could cause kidney damage if your kidneys are already affected. Remember to drink plenty of water before and after the procedure to help your kidneys flushing the contrast out of your body. READ MORE
