Omnipaque: is the trade name of a type of iodine-based X-ray contrast(dye). The main use is in contrast enhanced CT scans, but there are other potential uses in radiology. Allergies are rare, but can occur. An allergic reaction to anything, omnipaque included, can range from minor(e.g. hives) to severe and life-threatening(anaphylaxis).
