Contrast Guidelines

Please be assured these are recommendations only. If you would like to speak to our radiologist in regards to the best contrast guidelines for your patient, please call us directly at 305-227-2500. Patients who cannot tolerate oral contrast due to renal disease are given IV with and without.
Diabetic patients taking Glucophage, Glucovance, Metformin or Avandamed  must stop these medications the day of the procedure and for 48 hours following the exam. After completion of the CT exam, the patient should rehydrate.
