I got such a severe allergy and hardly survived. Vascular surgen had to step immediately. My vein got harder & harder and this went closer and closer to my heart. I paid on further medication snd treatments much more than for MRI itself.
My hospital radiologist tells me that it’s impossible for the doctor to read MRI prostate without contrast. there are other VDOs showing that Dotorem stays in the brain and bones just as much as the linear ones.
Excellent information Mark very very helpful! Now can you say... OH-HIGH-OH STATE????? Sorry about that complete and utter 56 to 27 obliteration, annihilation, laceration, eradication and elimination of Michigan on 11/30/19! To get through this you'll need to take two Xanax and call me in the morning... I promise you will recover much faster if you just wear a nice warm "Buckeye" sweatshirt. :)
Well, every patient should know beforehand about contrast being implemented as some people will have a reaction to it. For some, it can be a serious reaction.
I actually had an allergic reaction to the contrast. I had hives and about 20 minutes later started shaking like I had the chills but I really wasn’t cold. I had to sit around for about an hour before they let me go. I have to take a prescription from now on before I receive contrast
I developed what some people are calling Gadolinium Deposition Disease after one MRI scan with Gadovist. I was very healthy, had no preexisting conditions (MRI ruled anything out) and have normally functioning kidneys. No one seems to know why some people rarely develop this condition but I can tell l you it's absolutely devastating if you get it. Gadolinium is horrendously toxic in the body and causes a nasty host of systemic issues. I wouldn't recommend the contrast unless it's absolutely life or death. The risks are greatly downplayed and patient information on the actual risk is lacking because no one is actually studying people who develop GDD. They are just ignored by the medical community and most researchers who seem certain the is "no causation". It's ignorant and dishonest science. There will never be causation if you refuse to look.

If you've never had a ct then I would go that route... one ct won't be an issue
