I am allergic to the iodine-based dyes they use in all the contrast type procedures that DON'T USE Gadolinium.
Gadolinium is used for MRI's. I don't have a problem with that at all. It has no iodine in it.
You might want to check to see if they use GAD for the CT scan. Do they ask you if you are allergic to fish when they ask the disqualifying questions?
