CT Scanning

Clinically, correlation occurs after various diagnostic tests are run. Doctors take test results and compare them to factors such as a patient's age, sex, weight and medical history to make an accurate diagnosis based on the results.

A full body PET scan can take 30 to 45 minutes. A scan of a single lamp or a single organ can take as little as 10 minutes.

The CT scan on the head showed mild age related atrophic changes to the brain which is what would be expected and normal in an aging person. The brain shrinks with age and the 4 ventricals become prominent. It is not anything to worry about in itself. The Doctor can tell you more.

The dye enhances your venous and arterial (depending on the study) system. This will highlight mostly blood vessels outside and inside your organs.

It is uncommon, however, it is not unusual.

Veins are more fragile than arteries because they have to allow the blood to travel through them at much lower pressures than in arteries. Veins are normally exposed to pressures ranging from about 10-15mmHg in the thorax to about 90mmHg in the lower limbs, compared to pressures above 100mmHg.

In a Cat scan, depending on the study required, iv dye is pushed through either as a bolus at low pressure (for a contrast study) at a venous phase or at a higher pressure (for an angiogram study) which is used to look at arterial phase.

If the pressure used to push the dye through exceeds the capacity of the vein then the vein will blow out. It is difficult to predict whether this will happen although it usually does not happen.

Iodine is commonly used as a contrast dye in CAT scans (computed tomography scans) to help enhance the visibility of blood vessels, organs, and other structures in the body. It is injected into a patient's bloodstream before the scan to improve the clarity of the images produced.

Yes, you have the right to sue. You can sue for just about anything. Now let's move on. You endured pain and suffering. If that's your case, get an attorney and make it. It appears you can't make a case for any "involved" medical issues or any disability. At least get a consult from a legal professional. Most will give you a free or at least a low-cost initial consult. Then weigh your options and make a choice as to if and how you wish to proceed.

No, you can't. The high energy photons pass through you, and will do some damage to the tissues of your body because they are ionizing radiation, but you will not be able to feel it.

The patient may drink this contrast, or receive it in an enema. Oral and rectal contrast are usually given when examining the abdomen or cells, and not given when scanning the brain or chest. Iodine is the most widely used intravenous contrast agent

The short answer is it depends. The fee can vary greatly depending on where you get it done and what the negotiated cost is with your insurance company. In most cases a hospital will charge you more because they often have facility fees. A client of mine had two MRIs doen this year. One (at a hospital) cost over $4900 AFTER the network discounts. One (at a brand new free-standing facility) cost $900 AFTER the discounts. If you ask before you have it done you MAY get the amount they bill the insurance company but it is next to impossible to get the amount the insurance company will allow until after it is done and billed.
