A member asked:
Is there any pain involved in a thoracic spine ct scan with dye?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The IV: An IV is placed for ct scan with contrast. This should be the only pain. The exception might be if you are having a ct myelogram, where dye/contrast is injected directly into you spinal fluid. This is not common.
