Yes, we have done this. I'd wonder though if this is the perfect pt for a power injectable port...now on the market! (It probably won't be this pt's last CT, right?)

This question has come up twice today. Thanks, Denise --------------------------------- Talk is cheap. Use Yahoo! Messenger to make PC-to-Phone calls.
