MRI "contrast material"

[[co...]]

Has anyone that has had no problems with an MRI with and without contrast (gadolinium) in the past had one during w/d had a different experience?

I had a CT scan back the last of Jan with contrast and had no problem.

Hi coops wife,

I had a horrific reaction to iodine for a ct scan that landed me back in the hospital. Later I had an mri with contrast. It's hard to say if I reacted to that contrast because I was already so sick it was just impossible to tell what was doing what.

 

Is coop having a bad reaction? Like everything, this is temporary. It's hard to believe I know. It's all a process and it will end.

No, he has an MRI scheduled on thursday. I was wondering what the experiences were regarding this, but only if you can compare it to pre-benzo

I was told by a reliable source that I trust that the contrast they use for mri's is much milder than iodine for a ct scan. Reactions are very rare. I'm sure he'll be fine . I had also never had a ct scan before and would likely have the same reaction today if I went through it again.

 

I hope you guys get good news from the mri!

What do you mean by "contrast" please?  (I am having an MRI Scan at end March).

It is a dye they put in you so it contrasts better so they can see more stuff as I understand.

I've had 3 MRI's with contrast dye since w/d and no problems at all.  Paresthesia
