Abdomen and/or Pelvis exams
Patients with a diagnosis of hematuria or kidney stone will be performed without oral contrast. No other preparation is needed.
All other abdomen/pelvis exams will need a Redi-Cat (oral contrast) kit picked up by the patient from the Radiology File Room located in Outpatient Services. Instructions will be given with the kit.
