Can an abdominal CT scan, a kidney scan, and an abdominal X-ray be done on the same day?

Question
Hello doctor,
I have a CT scan of the abdomen with contrast injection, a kidney scan (with radioactive substance injection) and an abdominal X-ray. Doctor let me ask, can I have a CT scan of my abdomen with contrast injection, a kidney scan and an abdominal X-ray on the same day? Is there any danger, please consult a doctor. Thank you very much.

Hello,
The doctor would like to answer the question: “Is it possible to have an abdominal CT scan with contrast injection, a kidney scan and an abdominal X-ray on the same day? ” as follows:
You can completely perform 3 abdominal CT techniques with contrast injection, kidney scan and abdominal X-ray in the same day. A very small percentage of patients are allergic to iodinated contrast media. However, before the scan, your doctor will fully discuss and advise you about the benefits and risk factors. Your doctor will only perform an x-ray and inject you with contrast when you have been thoroughly explained, you agree to have the injection and that the injection is safe and necessary for you. Once an abdominal CT scan is performed, an abdominal X-ray is no longer necessary.
If you have any further questions, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System to check. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health. Best regards!
