Due to unprecedented COVID-related supply chain disruptions, hospitals in the United States are experiencing a shortage of contrast media (sometimes referred to as X-ray dye) used to perform
CT scans. As a result, The VA Salt Lake City Health Care System’s ability to perform these scans, in all but the most critical of cases, may be limited until the supply chain issues are
corrected. This disruption is anticipated to last until at least the end of July. In the meantime, our team is exploring strategies to conserve contrast media, including using other imaging
technologies and materials. As always, we are committed to providing the best possible care to our patients. We will continue to keep you informed on this issue. and if you have any
questions further please talk with your provider.
