Just had my 1 year scan and had a small allergic reaction to iodine contrast(sneezing and itchy eyes). Does that mean i won't receive contrast for my next scans?

    Contrast

    Dave,

     

    Definately discus with your treating doctor and Radiologist if possable. There may be more than 1 kind of contrast which can be used.
