The docter ordered this in order to see more of my small bowl. However, im cocerned about radiation. Im still a teenager so would my age increase the risk? My mom also said that when they do a barium thing she thinks they take multiple consecutive pictures. If thats true, isnt it worse than a regular ct scan as you would be exposed to multiple doses of radiation? What is the lowest amount of mSv should a child having this scan recieve( the maximum too)? How bad does the barium taste?
Edit: From looking at other threads, the barium thing seems to not be an ct scan, but the docter said a barium ct scan. Im confused
