A member asked:
How much omnipaque 350 should one get for a ct scan of the chest and is 170 lbs?

Radiologist: It will be for your radiologist to determine the amount depending on the type of examination and the reason for the CT. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health!

Depends : Without knowing why you’re getting contrast got the chest CT, but assuming it is indicated, I would say between 60-100cc usually.
