it all depends. There are people who are sensitive or who can potentially become allergic to the contrast. Also, a certain creatine level is required to “have clearance” to get an MRI with contrast.
For my next MRI, i am getting two separate body parts done in the same visit to minimize contrast exposure. i have had at least 3-4 MRIs done in last year and have two more planned MRIs this month
i am expected and do take steroids and anti-histamines every time i have an MRI
I have two tumors pressing on the outside of my brain. They found these tumors after I had a cat scan and then MRI. I will have another MRI in 3 months. I was thinking of having a full body scan. I just didn’t know if this advisable to have since I am having so many MRIs and scans.
A number of people like me need to deal with potential auto-immune and/or allergic reactions. Apparently, the higher the exposure to contrast, the more likely a reaction is. You probably know who you are…..
Thanks for the info. I’m not sure if I have an auto immune or allergies to contrast. I haven’t so far so I’m guessing I do not. I have to have another brain MRI in February.
