The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology: In Practice Jan 26, 2018
Schrijvers R, et al. - The negative predictive value (NPV) of skin testing for iodinated contrast medium (ICM) hypersensitivity, was assessed herein.

Notably, re-exposure induced infrequent reactions, which were mostly milder, and occurred in some patients despite premedication.
