Avatar m tn Fluroscene angiography or FA= inject dye into ARM to see back of eye circulation.
Avatar m tn How could all this happen after having these Fluorescein angiography test? a reaction to the Dye, but for a few weeks after the test?
Avatar f tn You can dye your hair just in a well ventilated area thats what my dr has told me
Avatar n tn What you may be referring to are pulmonary embolisms (blood clots in respiratory system). To test for that can be pulmonary angiography with a catheter device . It's not available at all hospitals, and a trained specialist must perform the test. Pulmonary angiography is a test used to diagnose pulmonary embolism. The procedure involves a flexible tube called a catheter that is threaded through the groin (upper thigh) or arm to the blood vessels in the lungs.
Avatar f tn A dilated blood vessel can be seen on contrast enhanced CT scan. Contrast is a dye injected into the body. This dye accumulates in the brain blood vessels and can be seen on the CT scan. An MRI is a better imaging technique. MRA 9Magnetic resonance Angiography) is still better. Have you considered or ruled out migraine ? Do you have nausea and any other problems ?
Avatar n tn So why expose him to both , the radiation from the thallium nuclear imaging test and the effects of the angiography dye ? Could we instead do a echo first and then decide to either do a thallium ( if there are no risks ) test if there is any doubt and go ahead with the stent process if that is identified as needed? 2) What are the radiation risks of the Thallium test ? I read that the radiation level of this is 590 times that of the exposure during an X ray ? Is this true ?
Avatar n tn Pulmonary artery angiography (also called pulmonary artery arteriography) is done by injecting a radiopaque dye into the PULMONARY artery and using CONVENTIONAL X-RAYS to view the dye in the lungs. Angiography is used most often when pulmonary embolism is suspected, usually on the basis of abnormal lung scan results, and is considered the BEST TEST for diagnosing or excluding pulmonary embolism".
17646939 tn?1458700001 I was shocked and refused, because I had a bad reaction to the contrast dye. So I acquired the test results Apparently I also had angiography. Before the test I took the 50 mg of metotopol 2hr prior to my appt.They could not get an IV in me for 2hrs. They tried for a deep vein but finally went with a superficial one. The dye gave me the worst headache and I started to swell but I was so sore and bruised that was my main focus. The results were compromised because my heart rate was 84.
Avatar f tn My youngest daughter will be 2 years old in August. This past year we have discovered a severe red food dye allergy. foods, medicines & snacks have been a challenge...She's allergic to red dye # 40 and other names for red dye. anyone with any information or websites of how to avoid? please help!!!
Avatar f tn Have you heard of organic hair dye? It's all natural ingredients.. I'm not sure if its the chemicals you're allergic to or the dye itself?

400099 tn?1282954864 MRA stand for "magnetic resonance angiography" which is just another term for MRI "magnetic resonance image". In other words you have an MRA in order to get an MRI.
Avatar f tn The dye that is injected during Ct scan examination is iodine based and rarely causes allergic reactions. As, you mentioned that you were premedicated with prednisolone and benadryl, these are the common precautions taken to avoid any reactions. The common reactions include hives, rash, itching etc. Severe reactions include difficulty in breathing, changes in heart rhythm etc. These are absolute contraindications for this procedure.
510230 tn?1211721183 ok, so im on the LID and i realized this morning that my YAZ birth control pill is light pink, im tryin to find the ingredients on line and in the inserts and its not sayin if theres a red dye in it, i imagine there is because they're a light pink color. does anyone know?
Avatar n tn Since you have been using the product for years check to see if any new additional ingredients have been added, this could account for your allergic reactions. Sometimes even with the same ingredients you can develop an allergy to the product, as the allergy develops in response to a repeated stimulus. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
Avatar m tn Agree about the OCT, the first one I ever had back in 2015 immediately revealed the cause of my own visual symptoms. Now I get one every six months at my ophthalmogist's office. The angiography I have done there once a year still uses the dye, or at least still did about a year ago. I don't know how many optometrist offices have an OCT scanner, but mine does and offers them on an optional basis should a patient want one.
Avatar n tn My uncle had gone for Angiography and had a severe reaction of the dye. He is currently unconsious for more than 120 hrs and in on ventilator support. Doctors are saying his kidneys are not working so they are performing hemodylasis to which there is very minimal improvement. What are the chances of such patient recovering and what sort of treatment is advisable in such situation? I would also like to know could the doctors have done something to prevent this situation?
Avatar n tn I'm thinking I might be allergic to Red dye #40...I ate a bunch of cotton candy before bed (I know, bad idea!)...and then I woke up in the morning with a rough itchy palate and a strange feeling around my lips. My lips themselves were not itchy, they just felt weird - kinda swollen, but it itched around the outside of my lips. Then I got a super small blister on my top lip...it never got bigger or oozed, it just ended up going away after a few days.
1668318 tn?1306416764 Hello, For congestive heart failure diagnosis, certain investigations are required and these include ECG, chest x-ray, echocardiography , nuclear medicine studies and maybe a coronary angiography (using dye inside of the blood vessels that can be seen using X-ray methods). You need to talk to your cardiologist and get these investigations done to rule out CHF.
Avatar f tn I would definitely check with my doctor! I don't dye my hair any longer and I wouldn't be willing to risk it while pregnant.
1577200 tn?1331725719 re safe, but make sure you try to use the most natural and low- or ammonia- free dye you can find. It will say on the box. I dyed my hair in the 2nd tri with my son, and I may dye it in the 2nd tri with this pregnancy. You just have to make sure the room is super ventilated. But AnnieBrooke had a good suggestion, to err on the side of caution you could always just do highlight treatments if it makes you nervous.
Avatar m tn Angiography after the stress test, echo, etc. in all likelihood is to do stent implant. The stress test involves viewing the perfusion of blood flow (contrast agent injected), and apparently there was some vessel occlusions that effected blood flow. The perfusion is viewed with exertion and at rest.
