Intravenous Contrast Vs Swallow? (Abdomen CT)

By

I’ve been having bad gut pain in my lower left stomach correlated with digestion so my gastroenterologist ordered a CT eith contrast of abdomen/pelvis. When I first set it up with an imagining facility, they were going to have me swallow barium 2 hours beforehand. Since then, I found a place (advent health) that offers it for much cheaper as I have a high deductible plan. I just made the appt yesterday for this afternoon.

Their contrast is intravenous for this same scan. Will this produce any different results? My doctors office didn’t pick up any of my 6 calls yesterday and I’m worried the same might happen today. I just want to ask a nurse if they have a preference between be receiving intravenous vs oral contrast.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often. Thank you for your help! submitted by /u/pootscoot1 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/p5y0aa/do_rad_techssonographers_deal_with_vomit_often/
