Abstract:
In addition to anaphylactic reactions induced by contrast media (CM), extravasation is an adverse reaction that occurs immediately, requires special treatment, and attention. Since radiologists are often not familiar with either prophylactic or treatment modalities, the goal of this paper is to summarize the major facts and recommendations with respect to CM extravasation under practical clinical aspects.
