  2. Barium sulfate suspension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_sulfate_suspension

    The use of barium during pregnancy is safe for the baby; however, X-rays may result in harm. [4] Barium sulfate suspension is typically made by mixing barium sulfate powder with water. [1] It is a non-iodinated contrast media. [5] Barium sulfate has been known since the Middle Ages. [6] In the United States it had come into common medical use ...

  3. Barium sulfate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium_sulfate

    Barium sulfate (or sulphate) is the inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ba SO 4. It is a white crystalline solid that is odorless and insoluble in water. It occurs in nature as the mineral barite, which is the main commercial source of barium and materials prepared from it. Its opaque white appearance and its high density are exploited ...

    Relatively common side effects include vomiting, diarrhea, and skin redness. [4] Other side effects include itchiness, kidney problems, low blood pressure, and allergic reactions. [1] It is not recommended in people who have an iodine allergy. [1] Diatrizoate is an iodinated ionic radiocontrast agent with high osmolality. [2]

  5. Upper gastrointestinal series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_gastrointestinal_series

    Barium sulfate is swallowed and is a radio opaque substance that does not allow the passage of X-rays. As a result, areas coated by barium sulfate will appear white on an X-ray film. The passage of barium sulfate through the gastrointestinal tract is observed by a radiologist using a fluoroscope attached to a TV monitor. The radiologist takes a ...

  6. MRI contrast agent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRI_contrast_agent

    SPIO, barium sulfate, air and clay have been used to lower T 2 signal. Natural products with high manganese concentration such as blueberry and green tea can also be used for T 1 increasing contrast enhancement. [64] Perflubron, a type of perfluorocarbon, has been used as a gastrointestinal MRI contrast agent for pediatric imaging. [65]

  7. Barium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barium

    Barium reacts with ammonia to form the electride [Ba(NH 3) 6](e-) 2, which near room temperature gives the amide Ba(NH 2) 2. [11] The metal is readily attacked by acids. Sulfuric acid is a notable exception because passivation stops the reaction by forming the insoluble barium sulfate on the surface. [12]

    Wright said she took half of the lowest dose, and quickly started vomiting — unable to keep even water down. She went to the local emergency room and was sent home with anti-nausea medication ...

  9. Lower gastrointestinal series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lower_gastrointestinal_series

    The barium sulfate, a radiodense (shows as white on X-ray) contrast medium, flows through the rectum into the colon. A large balloon at the tip of the enema tube may be inflated to help keep the barium sulfate inside. The flow of the barium sulfate is monitored by the health care provider on an X-ray fluoroscope screen (like a TV monitor). Air ...
