A member asked:
What can an abdominal ct scan with iv dye and barium sulfate solution find?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many things: In general areas of abnormal growth such as a tumor or fluid cyst, or areas of swelling such as inflammation or infection. The intravenous contrast solution and swallowed barium help the radiologist identify and separate nearby structures and organs, and help to better visualize possible abnormalities.
