????  Remember to drink a lot of water after an MRI (and imperatively after a scanner) after injection of a contrast product! ????

This instruction is not given to anyone passing this examination, so repeat this precaution of use here! ????

[The article focuses on MRI, but also know that the product injected for MRI and CT scan is not the same. But drinking after a scanner is all the more recommended!].

???? Thus, you will be asked beforehand to specify (often by questionnaire, but nothing prevents us from recalling it orally): if you have renal failure, a pace-making, a diabetes (type 1 and 2 vary, the first means insulin-dependent), if you are pregnant, have piercings, etc. ????

???? Also think of recent tattoos! Specify it and avoid programming the two too closely (history of inks and substances that can be there). ????

???? Think about eye makeup! Avoid! Some old things or bad quality can contain metallic stuff (we feel the pro, huh?! ???? ) which could be annoying (no, you will not end up blind!).

There is a reason behind each of the information requested.

The metal side is to avoid turning into a facet ball in the device (you have already made aluminum on a dish in the microwave? Well here! ????).

The rest, security questions for you, when concerned apparatus installed that you do not want to deregulate or damage, so as not to cause damage (I do wide and not detailed, schematic, voluntarily!).

The rest: "Drinking water", and regardless of water, tea or what, drink drink! To eliminate the product that has nothing to do in your body. So 24 hours, at least, watch!

And as soon as it is released! No no, you have the right to go home and start drinking after, huh! But drink full, full!

Nothing dramatic to that, but I give you in bulk some risky "contexts":

➡️ Renal insufficient people, because the kidneys damage

➡️ Diabetic people (especially those who take insulin because more sensitive with injections to treat it, glucomper and CO), because it can deregulate it

➡️ People with big thyroid concerns, for the same reasons ...

➡️ People allergic to the product (yes, we often know afterwards, you will tell me), etc.

???? In conclusion, everyone drinks after, thirsty or not thirsty. Question of motor reflex and dismissal towards the outside of the organism by… ???? Tadaaaaa! ???? Urine! ????

The cases mentioned above may, depending on their situation, pass an MRI or be oriented towards another method to study the brain, and be advised (prescribe?) Water loaded with sodium and bicarbonate, e.g.

Attention ! Don't panic!

You do not spend an MRI every day and even if the interval is shorter when it is followed by a discovery of meningioma and a treatment, you are not going to become renal insufficient if you had a blood test in the usual rates! ????

But drink water! A glass here, a gourd or a bottle there, a bubble glass with a lemon washer with a bistro, etc. Those who do not have special seeds can drink any type of water, bubbles, not bubbles, but do it! ????
