We had issues when DS was a newborn and another medical professional suggested a blood test (CRP) or CT scan or ultrasound. They kept refusing until our attorney (relative) gave us this piece of advice. If you request a procedure or a test or medication and the doctor refuses. Ask them to put it in writing and put it in your file. 9 times out of 10, the doctor doesn't want a paper trail coming back to haunt them. Amazing the results we got when my husband just said, very quietly, could you put that in writing please. <img src="i/expressions/devil.gif" border="0">

Yes, there are CT scans <b>with and without contrast</b>. It is a substance that is given intravenously a few minutes prior to the scan. My daughter has had both with and without, my son has only had without contrast.
All I know is when they are looking for certain things they want the contrast in there to see better.
I don't know all the reasons, or how it works, just wanted to clarify for Fred that they do exist.

I can clarify why you would want the cat scan with dye..............
its so they can see the blood vessels and spot the dilated, or twisted ones that may likely be the culprit. When they are just looking at the lungs themselves they dont use dye, but in order to see the blood vessels they need the dye .
