If you had a reaction to the contrast before they will NOT give it to you.
Be sure to let them know of your previous reaction prior to your MRI. Let your prescribing dr know as well as they will put on the order that the MRI is to be done without contrast.
Let us know how it all goes. Wishing you luck.
