title: [Adverse reactions to intravascular contrast media].
abstract: Adverse reactions to intravascular contrast media are infrequent in radiological practice and rarely pose a life threatening risk. Contraindication to contrast injection should be evaluated and prophylactic measures taken, if available, in patients with risk factors for adverse reactions. Details of pathogenesis, frequency and management of adverse reactions for different contrast media are discussed.
