Hi. My first 6 month check has been scheduled. I was told it would be a CT without contrast. Is this typical? The first one I had that caught the cancer was with contrast. Just want to make sure this is right. Thanks.

Barb,

 

I've had many with and without contrast.  I don't think it is unusual.  Contrasts helps in soft tissue examination but this CT will be a scan "A" compared to scan "B" and I'm not sure contrast is that helpful in those circumstances.

 

Good questions to ask however.

 

Stay the course.

All of my scans in recent years have been without contrast-try not to worry too much about it-with scans to compare, I think that those reading them are better able to see new issues.

 

good luck to you,

 

Cindy
