When I read up on the CAT scan procedure the number generally give was that five to eight percent of patients would have some form of allergic reaction, with the most severe or fatal at 0.1%. They can't test for it beforehand, though, which makes me seriously unlikely to ever want a CAT scan.
My mother had had MRI's before, during the other false cancer diagnosis, and that medium doesn't bother her, at least.
