Saline IV Flush before MRI w/ contrast side effects

By

Is it normal to have a reaction to a saline injection into the arm, before getting a MRI? This isn’t the first time I’ve experience this. About 5-10 minutes after the injection, my whole body feels flushed and weak. I start to sweat and then get chills. It subsides in time, but quite alarming.

Note: the contrast came much later with no issues & I don’t think it was a heparin flush..

Is this a normal thing, have you heard of a response to and IV flush like this before?

AI for radiology - A survey

By
Hello folks! We are a group of students from Karolinska Institutet and Stockholm University (Sweden). We are conducting a short survey (it should not take more than 10 minutes of your time) to evaluate an Artificial Intelligence framework for evaluating medical imaging and, in particular, the effect that explainability can have on clinicians' attitudes toward it. We welcome anyone who interacts with medical imaging to take our survey, so please, feel free to do it even if you are still a student or an intern! If you know someone who works in the field, please, pass them the survey. It would help us greatly. https://bit.ly/RTEX_survey Thanks in advance to all of you! submitted by /u/francozzz [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/Radiology/comments/r2ratp/ai_for_radiology_a_survey/
