Is barium sulfate a chalk drink?
Yes, barium sulfate is sometimes used in medical imaging procedures such as a barium swallow or barium meal. However, it is not typically referred to as a "chalk drink" as it does not serve the same purpose as consuming chalk.
What compound can you drink so doctors can see your digestive tract?
Barium sulfate is commonly used as a contrast agent for imaging the digestive tract. It is mixed with water and ingested before X-ray or CT scans to help highlight the outline of the digestive organs for better visualization.
Is there an easy way to drink Barium Sulfate?
First of all, I have to question why you would want to drink BaSO4. If it's for use as a contrasting agent, then that would make sense, but it is not wise to drink pure barium sulfate, as it is only liquid between 1580 and 1600 degrees celcius. Mix some BaSO4 powder with some form of sweetened drink if you have to drink it. If you are not using it as a contrast agent, then why on earth are you trying to drink a potentially toxic substance?
Although this alkaline earth metal is very toxic you know a doctor who often asks his patients to drink a nice thick shake of its sulfate?
Cerium
What compound containing element that patients drink so the doctors can view the patient's digestive tract?
Patients drink what is known as a contrast solution so doctors can view the patients digestive tract. The contrast solution shows abnormalities within a CT scan or MRI that can not normally be seen without contrast.
Can barium sulfate suspension be refrigerated?
My son had to drink 2 15oz bottles of Cheetah barium sulfate suspension and the nurse suggested that he refrigerate it. We placed the plastic bottles in a tub of icewater to chill quickly, and in thirty minutes it was chilled. Still disgusting, but less so when it was cold.
How long does barium sulfate last in your body?
Barium sulfate is used as a contrast agent in some medical imaging. It is insoluble in water, so it sort of drifts through the gastrointestinal tract. This irritates the tissues, but doesn't act as an outright poison as barium ions (which are poisonous) are not released into solution.
How can you drink barium ions without dying?
Barium solutions (which contain barium ions) are toxic. As regards drinking them, it's a very bad idea. But as the question is being asked in conjunction with X-ray and Medical Technologies categories, the query may be directed at the use of barium as a contrast agent. Barium sulfate, which is used for contrast in some imaging, is insoluble in water, which is the way it is given, and that means no barium ions. That allows its use without actually poisoning a patient. The compound is, however, something that the body doesn't like, and it can leave a patient with some gastrointestinal issues after it is taken. These issues are not generally severe, and that makes the use of barium sulfate relatively safe for use as prescribed.
What does insouble mean?
The substance can't be dissociated into solution. Example: barium sulfate BaSO4 is insoluable allowing paitents to drink it before cat scans without worrying that toxic soulible barium will kill them. Table salt NaCl is soulible because it dissociates in solution.
What if you are allergic to ibuprofen and you drink it?

What happens in a barium esophagograph?
