Abstract
Adverse reactions to intravenous contrast media (CM) agents are uncommon, although relevant due to the growing number of radiologic examinations that use iodinated contrast agents. We evaluated number and prevalence of adverse contrast reaction using different contrast compound and its natural history in our population, specifically looking to cases of new contrast compound administration was considered clinically necessary.
