Preparations – CT Enterography

You will be asked to change into a gown for your CT Enterography at SMIL. You may be given diet restrictions at the time you schedule your appointment.

You should inform your SMIL radiologist of any medications you are taking and if you have any allergies. If you have a known allergy to contrast material, or "dye," your radiologist may prescribe medications to reduce the risk of an allergic reaction, or order a different test.

Also inform your radiologist of any recent illnesses or other medical conditions, and if you have a history of heart disease, asthma, diabetes, kidney disease or thyroid problems. Any of these conditions may increase the risk of an unusual adverse effect.

Women should always inform their SMIL technologist or radiologist if there is any possibility that they are pregnant.
