A member asked:
I am scared if having a negative reaction to contrast dye (iv) for a ct scan. how safe is the dye and are their other tests that can distinguish liver lesions without contrast dye?

If you are not allergic to iodine and have not had reactions to previous imaging contrast agents, there is little risk of a reaction this time. The danger of an important health problem from mis-diagnosed or under-diagnosed "liver lesions" probably is far higher. Discuss with your doctor or radiologist if you remain concerned.
