Like most healthcare providers across the country, Ochsner Health is experiencing a critical shortage of iodinated contrast media products (X-ray dyes) which are needed to conduct CT scans or CAT scans.
This global shortage is the result of COVID-19 lockdowns in China, where most of the world’s supply of the dye is manufactured. We expect this disruption in supply chain to last until at least the end of June.
