Contrast media : Reaction, kind of less common nowadays because if the new material they use, radiologists usually refer to allergists such cases as yours if they suspect allergy to radiocontrast media especially in people with previous history,at any rate it's not a true allergy, rather a reaction to the contrast media,being atopic doesn't mean you will have the reaction, there is a protocol anyways to avoid it
