Silvery-white metallic element; symbol Ba (6)

I believe the answer is:

barium

(Other definitions for barium that I've seen before include "Substance swallowed to facilitate X-ray" , "Umbria (anag.)" , "Content of meal taken before X-ray" , "Metallic element, Ba" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
