The Use of Contrast
during MRI
Certain types of MRI scans require the use of
a contrast agent (dye) or your physician may determine that
it is necessary to use contrast. The dye is administered intravenously
(through an IV). Please inform your physician and the MRI staff
if you have ever had an adverse reaction to any contrast media.
Patients are encouraged to speak with their
physician regarding any health questions and/or questions regarding
the
use of MRI as a diagnostic tool.
