A member asked:
Can there be such thing as a contrast only abdomen/pelvic ct?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: When done with IV contrast, the ct scan is usually only done after the contrast is given rather than before and after. This lowers the radiation dose. Certain special protocols may involve scans both before and after IV contrast, such as when evaluating kidney lesions.
