Reply back when you have "talked" to a radiologist. My wife is an RN nurse and says you know zip about anything medical. She has talked with radiologists and assisted in people getting in and out of these machines. All this article talks about is the use of a medical term ! That means as this term is learned and used more and more in the medical field that this term will show up more on reports ! Read between the lines people ! The reason this term is used more is because more and more small town hospitals are starting to use the term and more and more older medical professionals who never used the term are retiring and new professionals are entering the field with that term in their vocabulary. Millions of dollars are spent on these x-ray, MRI, and other machines, they are tuned up and will always work just fine for 99% of the population. Just because you are normal sized or skinny in no way means you will "be killed or hurt" by having a larger machine. Some of the machines are hard to climb into. Some fat people used to kill themselves before they would ever see a hospital. Now more and more obese people are seeking treatments like stomach stapling and other treatments to fix themselves. If an obese person needs a scan or something along that process of self-healing, then they need a bigger machine opening ! To say that a larger opening is encouraging obesity is definitely paranoia to the nth degree.
