Cerium
What compound containing element that patients drink so the doctors can view the patient's digestive tract?
Patients drink what is known as a contrast solution so doctors can view the patients digestive tract. The contrast solution shows abnormalities within a CT scan or MRI that can not normally be seen without contrast.
What compound can you drink so doctors can see your digestive tract?
An endoscopy can allow a doctor to see your upper digestive tract. If you drink a barium solution, your digestive system will be visible through an X-ray-like procedure.
Is there an easy way to drink Barium Sulfate?
First of all, I have to question why you would want to drink BaSO4. If it's for use as a contrasting agent, then that would make sense, but it is not wise to drink pure barium sulfate, as it is only liquid between 1580 and 1600 degrees celcius. Mix some BaSO4 powder with some form of sweetened drink if you have to drink it. If you are not using it as a contrast agent, then why on earth are you trying to drink a potentially toxic substance?
How long does barium sulfate last in your body?
Barium sulfate is used as a contrast agent in some medical imaging. It is insoluble in water, so it sort of drifts through the gastrointestinal tract. This irritates the tissues, but doesn't act as an outright poison as barium ions (which are poisonous) are not released into solution.
Can barium sulfate suspension be refrigerated?
My son had to drink 2 15oz bottles of Cheetah barium sulfate suspension and the nurse suggested that he refrigerate it. We placed the plastic bottles in a tub of icewater to chill quickly, and in thirty minutes it was chilled. Still disgusting, but less so when it was cold.
What happens in a barium esophagograph?
the patient is given a solution of water and barium sulfate to drink slowly. X-rays are taken at intervals as the patient swallows the mixture; the images are analyzed for signs of reflux, inflammation, dysmotility, strictures, and other abnormalities
How can you drink barium ions without dying?
Barium solutions (which contain barium ions) are toxic. As regards drinking them, it's a very bad idea. But as the question is being asked in conjunction with X-ray and Medical Technologies categories, the query may be directed at the use of barium as a contrast agent. Barium sulfate, which is used for contrast in some imaging, is insoluble in water, which is the way it is given, and that means no barium ions. That allows its use without actually poisoning a patient. The compound is, however, something that the body doesn't like, and it can leave a patient with some gastrointestinal issues after it is taken. These issues are not generally severe, and that makes the use of barium sulfate relatively safe for use as prescribed.
What does insouble mean?
The substance can't be dissociated into solution. Example: barium sulfate BaSO4 is insoluable allowing paitents to drink it before cat scans without worrying that toxic soulible barium will kill them. Table salt NaCl is soulible because it dissociates in solution.

There's sulfur in my water and i am allergic to it what are some symptoms?
I believe I'm also allergic to sulfur in my water. When I drink unfiltered tap water here in Florida my stomach gurgles out of control & quickly leads to a toilet visit. When i travel to areas without sulfur in the water i can drink as much tap water or fountain drinks as I like. I've even done blind & noise cliped tests so I would have no idea which I drank and my stomach always knows. Wine also does this to me. People think I'm strange because of this. I have not been tested. Anybody else?
