Global iodinated contrast shortage continues

As a reminder, there is a global shortage of both intravenous and oral contrast as a result of COVID-19. It is anticipated that supply will remain critically low for the next few weeks. We will continue to communicate as our supply and needs change.

Thank you to the teams and individuals who have helped conserve iodinated contrast over the last several weeks. These efforts are making a difference as we continue to evaluate the shortage in the short and long-term. At this time, we are asking that everyone continue to follow the mitigation plan to help conserve supply. For questions or more information, email Marilyn Buchholz or call 252-847-4192.
