I heard this on the radio today so it's not like "no one is talking about it". CT with contrast is being rationed to the most critical patients.

Not getting the attention it deserves. CT scans with IV contrast are critical for trauma, cancer staging, emergency general surgery, orthopedics - everything. Having to ration it at all is a big deal. And IV contrast is used for more than just CT scans.
