Adverse reactions following the application of a contrast medium are always a challenge for radiologists. To date, little consideration has been given to causality analyses. Hypersensitivity reactions in the context of contrast-enhanced imaging procedures may be caused by the contrast agent, but other culprit agens (such as latex allergy) should be also considered.
We scan the top radiology sources so you don’t have to.
From AI breakthroughs to imaging trends, we serve up real-time radiology insights.
