The provider's guide: Contrast vs non-contrast CT? 

Super helpful regarding a subject matter that is not always explicitly explained. Thank you so much!

Just thank you.

What about a CAT scan for a hernia not suspected of infection or strangulation? No contrast okay?

Contrast needed or not for Follow up case of VP shunt

I'm trying to figure out what kinds of CT scans i got while i was in the hospital for sepsis and bacterial endocarditis. 2 weeks before i was admitted i had a head scan to check for bleeding because i kept getting worse after an unrelated concussion. Im not even sure which ones were CT or MRI, and i only remember having the contrast stuff once. And i think that was for a back MRI to check if the infection had spread to my back. I remember having 3 CT scans and one MRI.. I hope at least 1 was low dose because it's an absolutely massive dose of radiation to recieve in a 2 month timespan..

Phillips has CT machines that don't use any contrast. Just ask around to see who has them. These contrast are nephrotoxic

So basically. Without contrast enhancement can tell u about the tumor clearly?

Thank You.... You are Amazing Helpful.

Most providers will order it without AND with. Whether by incompetence or enthusiasm or greed, it seems they are taught that more is better. Contrast media is very expensive, also.

What about cta?

I have read that the radiation for CT scans is not goo for the body.

Can it be done together

Absolutely give i.v. contrast in patients with blunt trauma to assess for lacerations, bleed, pseudoaneurysm etc. This is misleading and dangerous. Anyways, it doesnt really matter what your "order", if you write a good history and what youre looking for the radiologist will find an appropriate protocol.

Orally???? You actually drink it? Isn't it toxic?
