Yes, it is.
Yes, struvite stones are usually radiopaque, meaning they will appear on X-rays as dense white spots. This can help in detecting and diagnosing these types of kidney stones.
Substances that are radiopaque include barium, iodine, and bismuth. These substances are used in medical imaging procedures like X-rays and CT scans to help visualize internal body structures and organs.
Lead Dioxide or Lead IV Oxide

No, pencil lead is not radiopaque. It is made of graphite, which is a form of carbon and does not show up on X-rays or other imaging studies.
Lead. Even a thin layer of lead blocks most radiation, where bone is fairly transparent at many frequencies.
The most radiopaque substance is typically lead, which has a high atomic number and density, making it extremely effective at absorbing X-rays and gamma rays. This property is why lead is commonly used in radiation shielding and protective equipment. Other radiopaque materials include barium and iodine compounds, which are used in medical imaging to enhance contrast in X-ray and CT scans.
Dense materials such as bones and metals block X-rays.
Radiopaque refers to the characteristic that the dye does not allow for the passage of x-rays. A radiopaque dye would allow for structures that are not usually visible to be shown white against the black background of a developed radiograph (x-ray film).
