A member asked:
How's barium sulfate eliminated from the body after a ct scan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually not barium: Barium is used in barium enemas, not for ct scans. Gastrograffin is used for ct scans to see the small and large bowel. Gastrograffin and barium are excreted along with stool.
