Without. I had a cat scan this morning for that very reason and no contrast was needed.
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.

A CT scan, computed tomography, is a medical test performed to diagnose a malady. The CT scan will allow the doctor to see internal injuries not shown on an X-ray picture.
The red dye that is used in a CT scan is a contrast dye. The objective of the dye is so that certain parts of the body will show up clearer in an x-ray. Contrast dye is generally given by IV into the hand or arm.

When doing doing some types of imaging test, they are done with or without contrast. Without contrast means that there is not contrast materiel being used during the test. Images will show diffent things depending on if contrast is used or not.

A three phase CT scan is a ct scan, usually of the liver, that requires an injection of contrast medium, this injection helps outline the vessels of your body by giving the x-rays something to be absorbed by besides blood which has a very low absorption rate. The phases are: 1. Scan during injection: arterial phase, this will highlight lesions in or around the artery leading into the liver. 2. Scan during injection or shortly after: portal vein phase, this will show lesions in or around the portal vein. 3. Delayed scan after injection: this will allow the soft tissue to absorb the contrast and may highlight changes in tissue.

Its not safe because something might go wrong in the scan and the antibiotic/sleeping injection might react with food and it won't show a clear and good picture of your cat's insides. -------------------------------------------------Improvement By the wording of the question, 'cat' scan may actually refer to CT scan or Computed (Axial) Tomography scan. Fasting before the scan for 4 to 6 hours or more may be required for certain scans requiring contrast media (iodine-based dyes to visualize certain organs better) or scans of the abdomen to avoid compounding results since certain food items may mimic human tissue in its response to X rays or reduce the effectiveness of contrast provided by contrast media.
X rays show up the damage that arthritis does to bone and will show the proximity of one bone to another which indicates damage or wear to cartilage.
Yes, you can actually be born with arthritis. Most of the people born with arthritis are born with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
