        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".

                    Education is extremely important.

                              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.
