yes
A radiolucent contrast medium is composed of elements with a low atomic number such as air. These contrast mediums appear dark on the radiographic image.
No, an electromagnetic wave does not require matter (a medium) to transfer energy. Electromagnetic energy (like light or radio waves) travels perfectly well in the vacuum of space. In contrast, a mechanical wave, of which sound is an example, does require a medium through which to travel.
We know that a mechanical wave requires a medium through which to travel. The source puts the energy into the medium, and it propagates. A sound wave is a good example of this, and we can contrast it with an electromagnetic wave (like light). Light can travel through a vacuum; it doesn't require a medium for its propagation.
The matter that waves use to transfer energy is called the medium. The medium actually carries the energy of the wave. Sound is a good example of mechanical energy, and it requires a medium to travel. The energy created at the source is transferred into the medium, and the medium carries it forward in transmission (propagation).
Electromagnetic waves, such as light, radio waves, and X-rays, do not require a medium to travel. These waves are able to propagate through a vacuum. In contrast, mechanical waves, like sound waves, do require a medium, as they rely on the vibration and movement of particles in a substance to transmit energy.

Nephrology is the study of the kidney. A doctor who specializes in that field is a nephrologist.

Yes, barium is a contrast medium and is actually one of the most common of the contrast mediums used in enemas and other x-ray based tests. Iodine is another contrast medium that is quite common.
The population of Kalleh Kub is 39.
There are at least a couple of radiographic studies of the kidneys and ureters using a contrast medium. In an intravenous pyelogram, or IVP, contrast medium is injected into a vein prior to imaging. In a VCUG, contrast medium is injected into the bladder to create an image.
