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?
No, I was never asked if I was allergic to fish. AFIAK. I am not. But my dad is. (Flat fish. Fish that swim like pancakes (horizontally).)
