A safer contrast material to barium sulphate is Omnipaque. I'm not sure if
it's known by another name in the US. It is significantly more expensive
than barium sulphate though.

One of our physicians is reluctant to order MBS studies due to prior
experience with an individual having a bad outcome after aspirating barium
sulfate during the MBS. I am checking with our radiology dept, but also
wanted to pose this question to the listserv. Does anyone know of any
safer contrast material that can be used?
