The review itself is completely painless. During the examination, the patient is asked to lie on the IT device's desk without moving. Depending on the type of examination to be performed, the patient may be injected with contrast material from the arm vessels, or may also be asked to drink contrast material. This part of the examination may be a little uncomfortable for the patient. Contrast agents contain iodine, and can cause allergic reactions in some individuals. Before the examination, the patient must inform the technician or radiologist whether he has previously had an allergic reaction to such substances and, if any, his allergy to other substances. The patient may have been given contrast agent in a previously performed CT examination, kidney examination called IVP, or catheterization of the heart and vessels, also called angiography.
