mri..................?

Question

i am going to have a MRI and was wanting to know if i had to get the dye if the DR would have told me when he made the appointment?

i have the MRI tomorrow

Answer 1

more than likely but not necessarily. don't remember them injecting dye when i had the MRI back in June. but when they did the CT-Scan they used dye because they wanted to a contrast view. and with the bone scan it's part of the test.

Answer 2

I think it depends on where you're getting the MRI. I had one and did not have to take any dye. Call your dr. tomorrow morning w/this and he'll let you know. FYI: I had to take off all my jewelry, so don't get a belly or nose ring yet. (If you don't already have them). Ask your dr. about that too.

Answer 3

no, they have everything there for the mri.
they make u drink the dye and then u go through a tunnel
where they see the inside of your whole body

Answer 4

the doctor would have told you if u would need contrast if you do they usally put in an iv and thats just a pinprick or they might make you swallow something its not that bad if u are worried though call ur doctor my guess is that ur not getting any because they normally tell u if u are good luck!!

Answer 5

Usually they tell you right up front because if you have any allergies to the dye, they won't give it to you. The reaction to dye can be very bad...
