The potential side effects of a thyroid CT scan include radiation exposure, allergic reactions to contrast dye, contrast dye complications (especially for those with kidney problems), and discomfort or anxiety during the procedure. To learn more, connect with me at drjeromepuryear.com. Thank you!
There are no known associated risks. The dose of radiation you will be receiving is relatively small.
