Contrast medium

Summary

• A contrast medium is a radiopaque substance used to facilitate roentgen visualization of internal structures of the body such as the urogenital sinus. A physician might require a patient to ingest barium before an X-ray investigation of the intestines, with barium acting as a contrast medium to make the radiograph more clear.
