Are There Any Risks Associated with These Imaging Tests?

While imaging tests are generally safe, there are some risks to consider:

Ultrasound: No known risks, as it does not involve radiation.
CT Scan: Exposure to radiation, potential allergic reaction to contrast dye.
MRI: Avoided in patients with certain implants or metal objects in the body, potential allergic reaction to contrast dye.
IVP: Exposure to radiation, allergic reaction to contrast dye, risk of kidney damage in patients with preexisting kidney disease.
Radionuclide Scanning: Exposure to a small amount of radiation.
KUB X-ray: Exposure to radiation, though minimal.
