The diagnosis and management of these patients varies among guidelines published by various national and international scientific societies, with recommendations ranging from avoidance or premedication to drug provocation test. This position paper aims to give recommendations for the management of patients with ICM hypersensitivity reactions and analyze controversies in this area. Skin tests are recommended as the initial step for diagnosing patients with immediate and non-immediate hypersensitivity reactions; besides, they may also help guide on tolerability of alternatives. Reexposition or drug provocation test should only be done with skin test-negative ICMs.The decision for performing either reexposition or drug provocation test needs to be taken based on a risk-benefit analysis. The role of in vitro tests for diagnosis and pretreatment for preventing reactions remains controversial. As preparation for future positron emission tomography (PET)/dual-energy computed tomography (DECT)T imaging modality and new possible clinical applications, the study aimed to evaluate the utility of clinically available spectral results from a DECT system for improving attenuation corrections of PET acquisitions in the presence of iodinated contrast media. The dependence of the accuracy of PET quantification values, reconstructed with conventional and spectral-based attenuation corrections, was examined as a function of the amount of iodine content and x-ray r
