Question:

Is there a definitive paper or strongly worded paper (parameter) that is available regarding RCM reactions. Specifically, the radiologists at our facility will not perform any contrast studies on ANY patient with a h/o any allergy (drug, food, seasonal) or asthma unless they are pre - medicated. The most recent case, they refused to perform a contrast study on a patient with a h/o bactrim allergy without first premedicating the patient.
