How to prepare

- Inform your doctor and the technician about all medications, allergies (especially to iodine or contrast dye), and any history of kidney problems.
- Disclose if you are pregnant or suspect you might be.
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing without metal zippers or buttons; you may be asked to change into a hospital gown.
- Remove all jewelry, eyeglasses, dentures, and hearing aids before the scan.
- For some scans, you may be asked to drink a special oral contrast solution beforehand to outline the digestive tract.
Risks & possible complications
- Exposure to a low dose of ionizing radiation.
- Allergic reaction to iodine-based contrast dye, ranging from mild itching to severe anaphylaxis.
- Contrast-induced nephropathy (temporary worsening of kidney function), especially in patients with pre-existing kidney disease or diabetes.
- Minor discomfort or a warm sensation if contrast is injected.
- Extremely rare risk of contrast extravasation (leakage from the IV into surrounding tissue).
Recovery & hospital stay
- No specific recovery period is needed; you can typically resume normal activities and diet immediately after the scan.
- Drink plenty of water for the next 24 hours to help flush the contrast dye from your system, especially if it was used.
- If you received sedation (rarely needed), you will need someone to drive you home.
- Monitor the injection site for any signs of redness, swelling, or pain.
- Report any delayed allergic reactions, such as rash or difficulty breathing, to your doctor promptly.

I'd been to three other doctors...
I'd been to three other doctors for this nagging pain and fatigue, and everyone just said it was stress. Dr. Sukanya was different. She actually sat and listened to the whole, messy story, asked about things no one else had, and ordered a specific test the others hadn't. Turns out it was something quite rare. She explained it to me in plain Tamil, drew a little diagram on her notepad. I felt heard for the first time, and finally had a path forward.
