Abstract
The need for emergent, contrast-enhanced neuroimaging in stroke patients with a history of severe reaction to iodinated contrast represents a unique dilemma in emergency departments. There is currently a lack of evidence-based management protocols for these cases. We describe a protocol established at our institution, based off American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines and institutional experience, to guide decision-making in these scenarios.
