bjacksontex Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Galli Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 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. Tom bjacksontex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chloesmom Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 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 bjacksontex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
