Bariumsulfaatit, also known as barium sulfate, is a chemical compound with the formula BaSO4. It is a white crystalline solid that is insoluble in water and most other solvents. Bariumsulfaatit is primarily used as a radiocontrast agent in medical imaging, particularly in X-ray examinations of the gastrointestinal tract. Its high atomic number and density make it effective at absorbing X-rays, allowing for clear visualization of internal structures.
In addition to its medical applications, barium sulfate is used in the production of paper and as
