I just had my abdominal CT scan without and with contrast done at LHR 5 Columbus Circle location and I highly recommend this place. This was my first ever CT scan and I was extremely nervous about it, especially since it involved both oral barium and IV iodine contrast. I never had an IV line put in to my veins either and since I am a chicken when it comes down to needles, I was very anxious with the process. However, staffs at LHR made me at ease by explaining every step and what I can expect. The lady who put in the IV line was excellent (think her name was Maria) and I did not feel any pain or discomfort once the line was in (only pain I felt was when the needle puncturing my skin as one can expect but even that was minimal and lasted less than a second). The radiologist (think his name was Mike) was also very professional and informative. I am allergic to yellow dye in certain food or drinks such as banana milk and they made sure that it would not be a problem with the IV contrast. He checked up on me during every scan (had to go thru the scanner 4 times) and also let me know when the IV contrast was going in so I can notify him immediately if I felt anything abnormal. Overall, the entire experience was as good as it could get. Hopefully I won t need any additional diagnostic imagings but I would come back to this place without any hesitation if I ever needed one again.
