Do you need consent for oral or rectal contrast?

Do you need consent for oral or rectal contrast?


We do not currently require informed consent for oral or rectal contrast material. That being said it is reasonable to ask the patients about allergies if an iodinated based oral contrast is used. Reactions are extremely rare but in very allergic patients a barium based agent could be use.
