What is involved near have a Contrast CT scan for my kidneys?
Answers: It's not a big deal. There will be an IV placed surrounded by your arm through which the dye contrast is introduced. You may feel slightly melt as the dye goes into your artery, or you may get a metallic fancy in your mouth. Your genital nouns may also feel heat up. These are normal sensations. The doc will be looking for stones, blockages, tumors, etc. within the kidney. The most uncomfortable item is the IV stick, and that is over within a jiffy. Try to relax as best you can. Good luck.
