A member asked:
If you have uri or cold symptoms, would it interfere with the ct chest scan with contrast images or results. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It could: With a viral bronchitis there is inflammation in the lungs so a ct of chest done when ill may look worse than normal. If it is to follow a mass then probably less important. Suggest speaking to radiologist to see if waiting until cold passes is advised so that you get the most accurate study possible.
