If I have a shellfish allergy can I have iodine contrast?
Yes. It use to be thought that there was a correlation with shell fish allergy and iodinated contrast, but this has been debunked. Dr Cox READ MORE
What if I'm allergic to contrast?
You could get premedicated prior to the exam or you could try the exam without and then be observed for 1/2 hour after. Sometimes people who had a minor reaction get repeat exams and do fine. I would discuss with your doctor prior to the exam. Dr Cox READ MORE

CT is not perfect and can misread masses as lymph nodes and lymph nodes as masses depending on the morphology of the node or mass. I would not be so concerned about it being a lymph node as they can be commonly seen in the parotid. Waiting on the path results would be prudent to definitely determine what it is. Most cases turn out to be nothing so I wouldn't be concerned until you have to be. Dr Cox READ MORE
