I checked my files for this. Don't know if it one of the radiocontrast
agents Dr. Hale commented on in August. I don't have a trade name, sorry.
Mother of a six -month old is to have a scan 11/15 at 6:45PM eastern standard
Time. Said she just found out about it and started to try to find out how it
affected feeding right away. I asked if it was a whole body scan; she said
it was for her back. So far I have found out that unless it is specifically
for post-operative scarring after back surgery or a tumor that she shouldn't
need this contrast since it is vascular and contrasts vascular tissue.
I have called the chief radiologist at the near-by VA and he said he'd have
to look at the info slip that came with the gadolinium and to try the tech
who might be in tonight doing a scan. Wasn't able to get ahold of the Chief
Tech on MRI yet. Would appreciate some information if possible. Thanks.
