As part of the preparation for a living kidney transplantation, a 68-year-old male patient on peritoneal dialysis underwent a contrast enhanced computed tomography scan of the thorax. The partially imaged abdomen showed radiopaque areas intraluminally of the large intestine with Hounsfield units of max. 636 (arrows, Fig. 1A). Spectral analysis is suggestive of the presence of two distinct radiopaque substances (arrows, Fig. 1B).
