The attending physician ordered a pulmonary CAT scan with contrast. I had symptoms of what I believe is called "angor animi" for 2 months afterwards, an extremely distressing symptom which can haunt a patient for years. After 10 years, I am just now finding the strength to investigate this incident further. What are the contraindications of a pulmonary CAT scan? How does pulmonary contrast work? Does it dilate the pulmonary arteries? What is it called and what drug company makes it? Who is ordering pulmonary CAT scans? I realize it is indicated to rule out pulmonary emboli but I had no symptoms of thrombosis that night. Need much more information.
