      I've seen only a few "normal sized" patients need total knee replacements (Mrs. George is one of them - her BMI is less than 28).

      This radiograph explains why.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        By the way, that's not an x-ray. Bowel is radiolucent for the most part and you'd not see it on a regular film as depicted here.

        Here's what a normal abdominal film looks like:

            I know, I know. I was just looking online for some kind of picture that showed the bowel being radiolucent.

                  Lol, the septum isn't anywhere near there. Also, you misspelled "septum".

                            Q for the medicos, or anyone else who knows. How possible is it to get a whole body X-ray like this? Would any X-ray department have the capacity? And if you know, how many millions would it cost to have it done?

                            TIA.
