Allergic reactions are immune responses that occur when the body mistakenly identifies a harmless substance, known as an allergen, as a threat. This misidentification leads to the production of antibodies and the release of chemicals like histamine, causing symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Allergic reactions can impact various medical procedures and imaging techniques, especially when contrast agents are involved.
