I had??a CT coronary angiogram today .

I think a fairly high dose of iodine contrast dye was injected intravenously via an automatic syringe pump .

I don’t remember any technician reminding me to drink??plenty of water following the procedure .

About 12 hours later I realised my mistake

I took a sample of urine and did xrf analysis??using Rap47 and Am241 for iodine.

I also have a sample of the same??iodine dye in my possession for comparison?

Urine looks concentrated?

Urine xrf show iodine peak

For the sake of completion ,I am showing my urine and iodine dye pic

For the iodine to show up in the urine xrf ,it has to be in??fairly high concentration?

This was 12 hours later?

Drinking lots now and getting close to midnight

This proofs to show home xrf??has medical lab use too ..for??certain substances at least.

I will monitor???my??urine iodine elimination??for future reference.
