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?
