Contrast Reactions: Now What Do I Do?
-
- There are few clinical situations in most radiology practices or departments that require immediate medical intervention from a radiologist. The management of an adverse contrast reaction is one such situation. This online course will present six clinical scenarios to better prepare radiologists in identifying and managing severe contrast reactions until the necessary clinical help arrives.
