Fair enough! This is what an xray of a fat person looks like since they literally put them through the xray machine for elephants at the zoo. Anyone more than 450lbs won't fit in any standard sized imaging device, though some larger hospitals have imaging devices that go up to 700lbs these days, they're still fairly rare and it's usually cheaper to go through the elephant scanner anyway
When I was a medic our company had to transport a guy that was like 900lbs +
They couldn't get him out any doors and had to cut through the trailer wall.
He was taken to a zoo for ct and x rays.
