title: [The rescue of iodine allergy by contrast enhanced CT].
abstract: We summarized 51 cases of iodine allergy and allergic shock induced by contract-enhanced computed tomography (CT). It is suggested that (1) the appropriate measures must be taken to prevent the side effects of ionic contrast medium; (2) a set of first-aid drug and essential equipment must be prepared; (3) the staff of CT room must be trained with the first-aid techniques and knowledge.
