I recently had a CT scan where the radiologist used Iodixanol 320mg/ml Inj, 200ml as the contrast agent. I was a bit nervous because I've heard horror stories about adverse effects from contrast agents but this dye is generally considered very safe. The injection site was sore afterwards, but it was manageable. I felt a bit warm after the injection, but that was it. I wasn't expecting anything serious. I had no symptoms or problems that the doctor mentioned as urgent. It turns out I didn't need to worry at all. My big question is: how many of you have had similar experiences? I'm curious to know if anyone else felt that 'feeling of warmth' after the injection, and if it was as mild as mine.
