I encounter this in the hospital more than I'd like. 

You may or may not be able to convince the radiologist that it's ok; I've found that we as physicians are terrified of lawsuits and strive to minimize risk, even when we don't really have to do so!

The American College of Radiology puts out a nice manual on the use of contrast agents in general; Hale extracts the relevant breastfeeding portions here:  http://www.infantrisk.com/sites/default/files/files/Radiocontrast%20Breastfeeding.pdf

Best of luck!
