Iodine from the contract can absolutely cause acute thyrotoxicosis called "thyroid storm" in some rare cases, which is why it is (theoretically) important to check TSH/fT4 levels before doing an iodine contrast CT scan.
But it's not an allergy, and is not a contraindication to perform a contrast CT.
