A member asked:
Ct scan to see liver, kidney, maybe bowel. will i see what i need to see w/o drinking barium? looking for stones, kidney swelling, liver issues mainly. no contrast of any kind. is that ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: CT scan for abdomen without any contrast can be fine for kidney or stone related issues. To observe bowel pathology or problems barium is recommended. IV contrast enhances the abdominal organs better and is usually recommended for even liver , gall bladder problems.
