If it was an x-ray, isn’t it a little weird to use a radioactive probe (or contrast agent)? I thought that for GI things it is usually a just contrast agent that absorbs x-rays really well… barium or some shit.
It was probably a contrast agent like you said, I don’t have any kind of medical background, I just know that it lit up under imaging and the med nerds thought it was interesting, lol.

You’re correct, it’s a barium solution. I’ve drank it myself, it’s moderately gross.
