Can I get done one first Non Contrast?

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

Hi everyone, I’ve been advised to undergo CT Urography both with and without contrast, but I’m concerned about radiation exposure. Since I mostly suspect it’s kidney stones, I’m wondering if there’s a way to reduce the radiation. Would it be possible to first have the non-contrast CT done, then consult with my doctor the following day? If needed, I could then proceed with the contrast CT after the consultation. Alternatively, would it be better to have both scans (with and without contrast) done at the same time?
