Barium sulfate is a white crystalline powder commonly used in medical imaging procedures to enhance the visibility of certain organs and tissues. It is also used in various industries, such as oil and gas, paints, and plastics. With its high density and low solubility, barium sulfate is an essential component in X-ray contrast agents and provides excellent radiopacity.
