Abstract

Radiocontrast media (RCM) are concentrated solutions of tri-iodinated benzene derivatives for enhancement of radiographic contrast. Adverse reactions associated with RCM administration can either be hypersensitivity reactions, toxic reactions (e.g. generalized pruritus, heat sensation, flushing, nausea), or events unrelated to RCM exposure (e.g. spontaneous urticaria).1 Hypersensitivity reactions are classified into immediate reactions (IHR) occurring within 1 hour after RCM administration, or non-immediate reactions (NIHR) presenting > 1 hour after exposure.
