A member asked:
Can iodine contrast used for ct scan inadvertently improve symptoms or issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: I like to keep an open mind but there is no scientific evidence that contrast used for CT can be used to treat disease. If you are feeling better after a CT exam, it is likely that you were on your way to getting better before the scan and the improvement continued after the scan to a point that you then noticed it.
