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.
What else can I help you with?
If I had an CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis but my vein blew out at the start of the contrast injection will the scan still accurate or did the contrast actually make it into my system?
If the vein blew out during the contrast injection, it's likely that the contrast did not enter your bloodstream effectively, resulting in insufficient contrast for the CT scan. This could lead to an incomplete or inaccurate representation of the structures in your abdomen and pelvis. You may need to discuss with your healthcare provider whether a repeat scan with proper contrast administration is necessary for accurate results.
Will a ct scan abdomen and pelvis with contrast show adhesions?

There are minimal risks involved with getting a CT scan. Your doctor should check your kidney function to be sure your kidneys can handle getting dye. This may be done at your doctors office or at the place that does the CT. The newer dyes used now are lower risk of any allergic reaction and are much easier on your kidneys to process. We check everyone over 16 years old before giving any dye. As always discuss with your doctor if there is any reason not to get the dye.
