Would gargling 1tsp of colloidal silver and potentially ingesting a little in the process be detrimental for a neck ct scan 14 hours later?silver could coat a membrane and distort image? or silver in body could conduct additional radiation into body?

Colloidal silver will have no impact on your neck CT. Additionally, there will be no impact on conducting additional radiation into the body.
