For some examinations, it is necessary to administer a contrast agent. We will inform you about this in advance. The contrast agent is not identical to the contrast agents used in X-ray examinations. It is considerably safer and rarely causes allergy. If you are allergic to anything, please inform us, either by mentioning the allergy in the safety questionnaire, before the examination, or also in person. Alternatively, you can also inform the referring physician about the allergy and let him or her mention this fact to us already in the examination request form. The contrast agent is most often injected into the elbow vein. It is eliminated from the body within 24 to 48 hours in the urine. We do not administer contrast medium to patients with severe kidney damage or to patients who are preparing for a liver transplant. Please also tell us these important facts in advance. We only administer contrast medium to children under 1 year of age due to not yet fully developed kidney function in the case of a serious indication! After the examination, our doctors – highly erudite radiologists – analyse and describe the images and information obtained. There is a great deal of information. Sometimes it is also necessary to consult the data obtained with another specialist. For these reasons, the evaluation of the images can take longer and you may not receive the result of the examination until a few days have passed. The result of the examination is delivered to your referring physician as standard. If your referring physician is connected to our software, he or she may receive the results immediately after they are entered into the system by our physician. If, exceptionally, you wish to collect your results in person, please arrange to register with our receptionist prior to the examination.
