A member asked:

Do i have to get some blood tests before doing a thoracic spine ct scan with dye?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Larry Armstrong answered

Maybe: While there are not usually blood tests ordered, your dr. May want a serum creatinine to check your kidney function before you get the dye. Talk to you dr.
