I have also had many Echo's and have never had contrast. I had forgotten that they do this on occasion when the echo is particularly dirricult to read. As a vet tech at a specialty hospital we used to do a contrast on occasion with echo's and also with some kinds of kidney studies. This was abandoned due to the unnecessary risk for the patient. I do not know what the correlation to the risk in humans is. It may be that the information is more critical to the human health system. I also have never had a MUGUA. My onc was satisfied with the echo's as was I. I have difficulty with any kind of contrast dye, I have onr kidney and the dye is hard on it.
