I'm going in for a CT scan to rule out a hernia, which will use a contrast iodine via I.V. My mother had a very bad anaphylactic reaction in the past to contrast IV iodine--is this genetic? I'm afraid of having a similar reaction. Also, do they "pre-treat" people with this allergy before the CT scan, and how do they treat an allergic reaction if there is one?
