| D. | Even short exposure of X-rays causes cancer in intestine |
| Answer» C. X-rays are not able to capture clear picture | |

Explanation: As the intestine is a soft tissue structure, it is not usually seen on a plain X-ray. By using barium to coat the inner lining of this area the Radiologist can see the bowel clearly on the X-ray screen, and can watch the way it functions during this study. A small lubricated plastic tube will be inserted through your nostril or mouth and down into your stomach by the Doctor or Nurse. |
