| Hypersensitivity test | detects idoine allergy |
| Barium Sulfate | contrast medium for GI studies |
| Iodine | contrast medium for angiography |
| Barium Swallow | patient drinks barium, fluroscope and x-rays are used to trace barium through the UGI )esophaugs, stomach, small intestine) detects tumors, ulcerations. etc.. |
