Is medical barium contrast dye radioactive?
No. Contrast materials are used to show structures that would otherwise not show up well on images (xray, CT, MRI). The familiar images of bones on xrays are actually shadows caused because the calcium in the bones blocks much more of the radiation than do the lighter elements in soft tissues (skin, muscle, nerves, blood vessels, cartilage, etc., which all have about the same xray density as water). Fat is actually less dense and may show up as blacker than other tissues on the image. Contrast is given to fill blood vessels (through an IV) or the intestines (oral contrast) or other hollow structures (variable route) so that they can stand out from other structures and be distinguished on the image. Contrast materials pose zero risk of radiation exposure to patients or other people; some people do have non-radiation related problems with contrast materials. So-called radionuclide studies and PET (positron emission tomography) scans do involve the injection of radioactive material; there is a tiny theoretical risk of radiation injury to patients or others from such injections.
