In some institutions registered nurses in radiology are responsible for assessing patients who will receive oral or IV contrast for a CT exam. They will review your allergies and medications and make sure your kidneys are functions properly since IV contrast is eliminated from your body through your kidneys. They may be the ones to place your IV and inject the contrast. Normally the IV contrast used for a CT scan is injected very rapidly. A power injector is used for adult patients. Nurses may also give rectal contrast or fill your bladder with a diluted contrast solution for specialized exams that image your bladder.

Why does the dosage of oral drugs differ to that of intravenous?
The simple answer as to why dosages of oral medication differ from intravenous (IV) doses of pharmaceuticals is that to be effective, oral medication must be absorbed in the digestive system. Anything given in an IV is in you and that means all of it. Yes, your body can process out some of the IV medication, but this is different than your body having to absorb it in the gastrointestinal tract.

Where does the doctor inject contrast into the abdomen for a Ct of the abdomen and pelvis?
C-T, or computed tomography, is a series of x-rays done in 3 dimensional 'slices' of the study area of the body, which allows for very specific detail of the imaged area. A C-T may be either non-contrast, contrast, or both. No matter what part of the body is being imaged, the liquid contrast material is injected intravenously. A nurse or specially trained technician will start an IV, usually in the arm, and inject the contrast material, and then the C-T scan is performed. If both non-contrast and contrast studies are being performed, the non-contrast study is done first.
