What Are The Side Effects Of The Intake Of Barium?
Having a CT scan on abdomen and pelvis and have to drink two bottles of the Barium at different times before I go for the test. The question I have to ask is will I have to run to the washroom for several times before I leave my house for the test? Thank you very much.
