Recommendations for Standardized Documentation of Contrast Medium-Induced Hypersensitivity

Although it seems easy and unspectacular, currently the documentation of contrast medium (CM) –related hypersensitivity reactions is incomplete or missing. Although high standards are established for both imaging and its documentation, there is no such progress detectable for the documentation of hypersensitivity reactions induced by CM. As reported previously [1], in most electronic or c onventional patient records the documentation of CM hypersensitivity lacks standardization and is sparse, incorrect, incomplete, or missing.
