    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.

    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?

    So i would like to know how far should a perosn stand when taking a xray are there any risk

    • @HowRadiologyWorks

      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.
