- Oral contrast
- No more gastrograffin, replaced by omnipaque. Must place an order for it. If you need to obtain a retrograde urethrogram, order a KUB.
- Below is the suggested/usual volume of omnipaque used for certain indication sent to us by Dr. Putnam:
- For use in bowel obstruction, a volume of 100cc of Omnipaque 300 is used.
- For use in tube contrast studies, a volume anywhere between 50-200cc of Omnipaque 300 would likely be used.
- For a CT with po contrast, the order is for 30cc of Omnipaque 300 in 970cc of water.
