As hospitals face shortage of contrast dye, doctor suggests alternative tests
Fox News
A contrast dye shortage is hampering doctors: They can't always get tests to diagnose patients. Dr. Frita Fisher discussed the issue on "Fox and Friends."
Some radiologists are saving up the dye, conserving it — even diluting it in some cases.
"We have GE Healthcare, which is in Shanghai, China, and due to that zero-COVID tolerance [there], they had to close for two months — meaning they could not make contrast dye," she said.
