Hi,
Based on the information provided it seem that your mother was taken in for CT SCAN with contrast.
The most common side effects of contrast include:
Mild to life-threatening allergic reaction
Flushing/redness and hives
Shortness of breath
Nausea, vomitting
Blood clots
Dizziness
So it was the contrast which made your mother vomit.
Hope it helps.
