The organs of the abdomen and pelvis are similar in density, so a contrast material is needed to provide exquisite detail of the colon. Liquid barium, a dense, non-absorbable white solution, is introduced into the colon through a rectal tube. The barium coats or fills the inside of the colon and, with the use of low dose x-ray pictures, a sharp, well-defined image of the colon is produced. See similar questions...

IV injection of a contrast material is used to enhance the visibility of certain tissues or blood vessels. A small needle connected to an intravenous line is placed in an arm or hand vein. The contrast material will be injected through this line. If the radiologist believes that an intravenous (IV) injection of a contrast material will be helpful, you will be asked in advance whether you have had allergies in the past or have ever had a serious reaction to medication.

Contrast ratio is the ratio of luminance between the brightest white and the darkest black of a particular device or a particular environment. Projected cinema film, or a photographic reflection print, has a contrast ratio of about 80:1. Television assumes a contrast ratio, in your living room, of about 30:1. Typical office viewing conditions restrict the contrast ratio of a CRT display to about 5:1. See similar questions...
