Novel strategy for the prevention of recurrent hypersensitivity reactions to radiocontrast media based on skin testing

Hypersensitivity reaction to iodinated contrast media (ICM) is a persistent clinical issue with the increased use of computed tomography. With the evidences indicating underlying allergic mechanisms, there have been studies regarding the skin tests using ICM. This study aimed to evaluate intradermal skin test (IDT) as a tool for preventing recurrent hypersensitivity reactions to ICM in the previous reactors.
