Dr ordered a ct scan with contrast to check on my fatty liver, despite i already had 2 ct scans 8 months ago without injection and 2 x-rays for multiple conditions this year, he said an ultrasound wouldn't be accurate for obese people. is it safe?

Safe: Who ever said ultrasound is inaccurate is wrong. Very safe and accurate. It sounds as if you had enough X-ray for a while unless you truly need them.
