Contrast and virtual colonoscopy provider E-Z-EM has expanded its roster of barium products for the study of swallowing disorders with the market introduction of Varibar Thin Honey.
Varibar Thin Honey provides speech-language pathologists with a target viscosity of 1500 centipose (cps), a midrange consistency to help better determine the precise threshold of a patient's ability to swallow, E-Z-EM said.
The product group also includes Varibar Thin Liquid (4 cps), Varibar Nectar (300 cps), Varibar Honey (3,000 cps), and Varibar Pudding (5,000 cps). The new contrast agents help eliminate several sources of uncertainty in the evaluation and treatment of swallowing disorders, according to the Lake Success, NY-based firm.

![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
