Hi guys on the 25th February of this year i have a ct scan with iodinated contrast dye, and i noticed that 2 weeks after that i was having irregular heartbeat, and muscle cramps and twitching, and inching too, i want back to the hospital many times but theh keep letting me its not from the iodine contrast, but 100% knew all this symptoms am having is from the contrast. Please i help to save my Kidneys. I really this it's had effects on my Kidneys.. please i need help to save my Kidneys. It been 2 months now.
So why after my CT SCAN procedure my right foot feels like it’s going through that iodine warmth on and off after it being one week? Did it remain in my body?
I am having an MRI no contrast, and then a second MRI with contrast approximately 4.5 hours later. I was told after the first MRI I would get the contrast dye injected (returning later for the second MRI). My question is… will the dye even show up in the MRI if injected 4 or 4.5 hours earlier? Seems a little odd. I was told this is the protocol. I am having an MRI tests of my head for an acoustic neuroma. Thankyou in advance for any answer you can give.
Hii i recently discovered ur channel ...u r doing an amazing job.. I have a question i recently did my dental xray and my daughter was with me just outside the room but the door wasnttclosed she was about 5 feet away .. So i would like to know how far should a perosn stand when taking a xray are there any risk
In general the further the better for reducing x-ray exposure. The exposure of a single dental x-ray is very low and the amount scattered is also a small fraction of that. If you’re daughter is old enough you can ask her to go down the hall next time, but don’t loose sleep over this exposure.
@@HowRadiologyWorks thanks sir .. Also may i know how far does the single dental xray radiation reach like do they travle straight line or go anywhere ? And how far do they reach ?
@@safakhan8599 X-ray radiation cannot be filtrered out completely but it can be reduced to a very low intensity, by having high density material like lead which is usually built into walls. Xray radiation travel in straightlines in vacuum but in air, they get scattered which means they continuously change direction based on probability. To accurately answer your question a medical physicist would have to make a simuation which have to resemble your situation. X-rays can travel to infinity but as i said it's intensity decreases but never goes to 0 (normally 99.99% can be filtered out if you do it correctly with thick lead blocks).
@@safakhan8599 Allowing a 3-year-old child to undergo a dental X-ray is generally considered safe when necessary for diagnosing dental issues. The exposure to radiation during a dental X-ray is minimal, and dentists take precautions to minimize radiation exposure to children. However, it's essential to follow recommended guidelines for pediatric X-rays, such as using lead aprons and thyroid collars to shield other parts of the body. Always consult with a qualified dentist or healthcare professional for specific recommendations based on the child's dental health needs.
sir i am 22yrs unfortunately i got one CT scan contrast of appendix 1 year ago but reports was normal and appendix was not there but i am worried about might be ct scan cause cancer or impotence in future kindly sir guide me what should i do to detox my body from ct scan side effects
@haris-gq1zm It's ok you will be fine .......you got very low amount of radiation. Your cells were recovered immediately after the examination. I am a CT technologist.
Hello, how to compare accuracy between CTA and MRA? I have a thoracic aneurysm and I had a big number of CT scans thrown my way. I have to have another CTA soon and that makes me really sick of the thought of getting that much of radiation.
You're so smart you're blowing my mind. I can wrap my brain around everything you're saying... BUT! what's your opinion ?: On Intravenous contrast dye with CT... How long should a patient wait to try to conceive after receiving that specific treatment? Do you know what the standard recommendation is for that?
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9779218/ , here is a paper on contrast risks during pregnancy. I don’t give medical advice but I don’t know of known effects of iodine contrast on conception

pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22053166/ , thanks for adding this comment. I had hyperthyroidism before as well and it was no fun. I will add this when I update in the future.

Are you okay now ?
I like to know why when given contrast my husband who is a chronic pain sufferer was suddenly pain free the effects have lasted about a month
So why after my CT SCAN procedure my right foot feels like it’s going through that iodine warmth on and off after it being one week? Did it remain in my body?

Luckily studies have shown the heavy metals in contrast are not only good for the body, but are safe and effective! Just like the jab! 😬
They give a friendly guest. Yep you guessed itright cancer
Can cognitive skills diminish cuz of contrast agent?
I have not seen anything in the literature to suggest that

And how far do they reach ?
And is it safe to get dental xray for kids she is 3 and half and dentist asked he to take xray

Does oral contrast work as well as iv contrast for ct scan of ab/pelvic?
These two contrasts are for different purposes, IV for vessels and feeding organs and oral for GI tract
Is it safe for autoimmune patients to have iodine and gadolinium contrast agents?
Sorry not my specialty
I thought I pissed myself
Thanks for mentioning that sorry if I forgot to mention that warm feeling like urinating
Why does it cause rapid heart rate

You are great thanks for puttng time and effort to help us understand radiology! Cheers from a radiologist student from sweden!
My pleasure! Thanks for leaving the comment and letting me know where you are finding value.
What if my urinary bladder is not full while having CT scan of my urinary bladder?
Sorry I can’t answer this, please ask your radiologist reading the study about the impact
Is there barium in iodine contrast?
No barium in the iodine contrast for vessels
Yes, barium sulfate can be used as an oral contrast agent for MRI studies.
DO NOT GET CONTRAST.
So you are saying nowdays noniodinate contrast media has a higher viscosity than iodinate contrast
The viscosity discussion was all within the iodine media
Can contrast media cause penile tissue damage in cavernosography test ?
Sorry I don’t have knowledge about this diagnostic test
Tq sir
Welcome 🤗
Can you explain relationships between post collimation, pre collimation and beam collimation?
Do you have a text or something you are referring to and which type of X-ray or CT?
Does the water based CT iv have metals
No
What about the high iodine load from contrast CT scans causing hyperthyroidism? That happened to me and I felt terrible for months.
pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22053166/ , thanks for adding this comment. I had hyperthyroidism before as well and it was no fun. I will add this when I update in the future.
@HowRadiologyWorks did you get hyperthyroidism from contrast?
