Two types of oral contrast are used:
Barium sulfate, the most common oral contrast agent, resembles a milk shake in appearance and consistency. The compound, available in various flavors, is prepared by mixing with water.
Gastrografin is a yellowish, water-based drink mixed with iodine. It can have a bitter taste.
The second diamagnetic contrast agent causing loss of signal in the bowel is barium sulfate suspension.
If you would like to review the differences between diamagnetic, paramagnetic, superparamagnetic, and ferromagnetic; look over the URL source material.
There are some technical eplanations with diagrams that far exceed my capacities to clearly explain given my limited knowledge in this area.
I have no idea what you are talking about. Are you looking for information on gastrointestinal tract coatings? Such as barium enemas?
