Is there a definitive answer to a mother regarding a CT scan using Optiray  
as a contrast medium?     I have had several cases recently  with new moms 
requiring CT scans to rule out pulmonary emboli on day 2  postpartum.
 
Our hospital radiologist says 48 hours of interruption of  breastfeeding.  
Last week he gave in and said he would allow breastfeeding  in 24 hrs.   My info 
says Optiray is not a problem.
 
Is there a general rule I can give moms and staff?
