This is slightly off topic, but I have a CT scan this Thur. because I have been experiencing unusual migraines, and I’m really worried because my father is severely allergic to Iodine, and I know they inject iodine usually during CT scans, i’ve never been tested for allergies, but my parents have had me avoid all shell fish and I’ve never had an iodine medication, I guess what I’m asking is am I at high risk to be allergic to Iodine? I know allergies tend to be hereditary and I’d rather avoid Iodine if I’m at high risk of having a reaction. If it is likely I am do i just tell the Dr.'s this and they use a substitute of some sort?
I'd really appreciate a response, preferably before Thur.
Thank You :)
