  Hypersensitivity reactions to iodinated contrast media are type B adverse reactions and remain inherently unpredictable. Over time, proliferating risk lists have offered little practical clarity for imaging teams. A focused appraisal of published evidence condensed numerous proposed factors into a small set with clear clinical relevance. The findings...Read more
