When do you take strip nc?

A strip NC, or strip non-contrast, is typically performed when a patient requires imaging of the abdomen or pelvis to assess conditions like bowel obstruction, diverticulitis, or other gastrointestinal issues without the use of contrast agents. It is often indicated when there are concerns about Allergies to contrast material or kidney function that may be affected by contrast use. The procedure can be scheduled as part of an emergency evaluation or planned outpatient imaging, depending on the clinical situation. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific recommendations.
