I've had several ct scans after having my port acccessed by a chemo nurse, with the contrast solution pushed through my port by the ct techs with no problems. I do have to remind the techs to use an alchol swab.

I've also had Mugas, bone scans, bubble tests (and could be forgetting some) done through my port. The only one they wouldn't was the PET scan, and I think that was the technician's perogative.

I'd be interested in any answers you receive.
