Inquiring about contrast allergies in advance is crucial to both patient safety and convenience. Please discuss this with your referring physician. Our standard protocol for IV contrast allergy premedication is oral prednisone 50mg (13, 7, 1 hour prior to injection) and a single dose of benadryl 50mg (1 hour prior to scanning). You must have a ride home if receiving benadryl.
If there are any indications that you may be prone to allergic reactions, we prefer to you to be scheduled at Mary Washington Hospital’s radiology department. This allows the highest level of supervision and medical support for any allergic reaction.
Comparison with past studies is often vital to an interpretation. Expensive workup of a pulmonary nodule or spine fracture may be obviated by an old film present at an outside location. Please bring any outside exams (on film or CD-ROM) and reports with you to your imaging appointment. The radiologist will compare the exams in a timely manner and return the study directly to you.
If an outside exam becomes available after a report has been generated, an addendum can be made in the context of any new information.
