Barium is part of a group of elements known as the alkaline earth metals. It is a silvery metal that easily turns black. It is soft and ductile. It can form alloys with some metals that are partially alloys and partially chemical compounds.
Barium is a white liquid that shows up clearly on an X-ray. It can show the outline of the food pipe (oesophagus), stomach or bowel. Once the barium is in the body it coats the lining of the organs. It shows up a tumour as an irregular outline extending out from the wall of the affected part of the body. There are different types of barium tests. A barium swallow looks at the inside of the oesophagus or stomach.
