Contrast makes blood vessels and organs stand out. The scan takes minutes; the questions take longer.

Why Contrast

Iodine-based dye highlights vessels, tumors and inflammation, revealing what plain CT cannot separate.

Safety Points

Kidney function is checked first; the warm flush sensation is normal; allergic reactions are rare and manageable. Modern scanners keep radiation low.

Practicalities

Fast for four hours beforehand, hydrate afterwards, and expect to be in and out within 30 minutes at partner imaging centers.
