X-ray of a 700lb man (320kg).

So much for the "she's not fat, she's just big boned" excuse, huh.....

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.

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:

@George-K normal? With a biliary stent in the pelvis?

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

Is that his pecker or does he have a tail?.....

If you're talking about this, that's the sacrum.

[Horace]

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

It is is you have your head up your ass...

My sacrum isn't cylindrical like that....

[bachophile]

Septum?

[Larry]

Septum? Nah, it was all 'em!!

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.
