A member asked:
Aside from the needle site, is a venogram any more invasive than the typical ct w/ contrast?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Most of the risk for injury from both venogram and CT with contrast is the contrast injection, which is about the same. There is more radiation risk with the CT scan, but not terrible large.
