We can still do CT scans without, it just shows more especially in cases of tumors…and we can’t do blood clot studies without contrast.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7177419 Literally know someone who just got an MRI/Catscan last Monday. MRI's are not affected. They use magnetic fields instead of radiation like cat/ct. The contrast media is designed for ct/cat scans MRI with contrast use a dye that is Gadolinium-based. CT’s use Iodine-based contrast. Both are used to enhance images and can detect certain things better. Many people that have pericarditis and myocarditis from the vaccine are saying they were only able to get the diagnosis through MRI (with) contrast, and that in many people, it wouldn’t show up without the contrast. . |

MRIs have been around for decades and provide much higher quality resolution and zero gamma radiation Quoting: Anonymous Coward 78061415 This^. Though the run on contrast mediums is probably due to a marked increase of scans for pulmonary embolisms caused by the clot shot, as a previous AC alluded to. But I came across this. MRIs can be used, but contrast is needed. Still, it's better than a CT! [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov (secure)] Last Edited by Elegant Walnut on 05/10/2022 11:07 AM |

The industry as a whole should be forced to lower their prices by 40% and anyone refusing to comply be jailed. I'm not talking doctors...I'm talking the industry that charges $1000 for a product that costs them $15 to produce and they get away with it because you will literally die without it. |

Anytime China wants to challenge us and fuck with us they hold this over our heads. China will not even allow the fda to inspect the plants that make our medicine that China continuously contaminates with carcinogens. Our medicines should be manufactured here. This is so fucked up and illogical also extremely dangerous. Ditto for our foods. Animals being shipped to China for processing instead of processing here. Insanity!

They can still perform CT scan's without contrast... this is a nothing burger.  What you neglect to state is that the accuracy and detail are much higher w/contrast than w/out. Sure you can get tons of different scans w/out, but ask yourself, “Self, does an accurate diagnosis mean anything when I am suspecting I may have a blood clot or leaky heart valve? Or “It’s fine if you don’t get a good image of my brain, A tumor takes so long to develop I should be ok w/out contrast” Do YOU want to the one uttering those words, how about regarding your wife, child, parent, sibling? “If it’s so small we need contrast to see it, It’s not worth worrying about right” No it’s not required, Just like a lot of d2d shit we go through.
