If a follow-up breast imaging exam is necessary, you will need your physician to complete a referral form.
Recent Lab Results for MRI or CT Exams Using Contrast
A blood test measuring creatinine levels is performed in advance of a MRI or CT exam using contrast to evaluate kidney function. This is to screen for potential pre-existing renal insufficiency in patients at high risk for contrast-induced nephropathy. Risk factors will be determined by the radiologist but include:
- Aged 60 or older
- History of renal disease, renal transplant, total nephrectomy or sickle cell crisis
- Diabetes mellitus
- Liver disease
- Recent surgery
- Acute deep vein thrombosis
- Previous allergic reaction to MRI or CT exam using gadolinium contrast
If you have any of these risk factors, you must have a blood test examining your kidney function within the last 30 days. You may either fax this to the office in advance or bring a copy with you to your radiology appointment.
If you do not have recent lab work, you might be eligible to receive the blood test on site when you arrive for your appointment.
Additional Information
Exams Using Contrast
In order to improve visibility of structures and organs inside the body, your physician may order an MRI, CT or X-ray exam that uses a contrast material.
Different types of contrast materials, such as gadolinium, iodine or barium sulfate, are used for different exams. Depending on the exam, the contrast may be inserted through an IV or given by mouth.
Iodine Allergy
Please let the office know when you schedule the exam if you have an allergy to iodine. Your doctor may prescribe medications to take in advance of the exam.
