When making me was diagnosed they cut the contrast so that only one of my every three month CTs uses it. I need to have at least one as I have an aortic aneurysm and my cardiologist requires it.

@denzie Your cardiologist should be willing to switch the CT to an MRI/MRA and if they are using the new MRI contrast the risk of kidney damage is very low if your eGFR is above 30. Talk to their imaging department to learn what contrast they use, do your research and then talk with your doctor or send them a msg. I did it and it converted the doctors involved once they checked out my research - they did not know. I wish you success.
