Ladies and gentlemen... Here's more on Computed Tomography scans... There is one paragraph I want you to pay attention to. It's the one that says you drink the dye. It is not injected in you and it is not called "Silver Contrast" as a matter of fact I doubt it's used for medical purposes at all. By the way... Here's that paragraph but you can read the source by clicking the link.
In some cases, a dye called contrast material may be used. It may be put in a vein (IV) in your arm, or it may be placed into other parts of your body (such as the rectum or a joint) to see those areas better. For some types of CT scans you drink the dye. The dye makes structures and organs easier to see on the CT pictures.
NOTE: It says "some" cases! So, that means that NOT in all cases is the dye (NOT CONTRAST) needed.
