Hi Don, don't know exactly
Hi Don, don't know exactly if is what you are looking for but each of my ct scans start with a barium "smoothie",they do images with that alone then they inject a dye and do additional images. This is every time. If you don't here from someone I would ask the doc. When do you get your results?0 -

Thanks for your post, I have noticed not many people using this site anymore, or so it seems.normally whats been the case with my scans, I have always for the past 3 yrs. received only the IV contrast. My last scan showed NED, so I am completely baffled as to why I would be given additional contrast as well, but I noticed every person in the radiology Dept. yesterday was also drinking the same contrast as me, thought that was peculiar, and alerted me into thinking there was more going on than just coincidence. I get my results tomorrow so I'm planning on asking my Onc. if he ordered it. Thanks again for your response, and if you or anyone who reads this, I'd appreciate hearing if you thought that was a little odd that everyone there was drinking it as well.0
