America’s growing girth is a challenge for radiation technologists tasked with positioning patients in imaging systems designed for smaller-sized individuals. Systems manufacturers have worked to develop units to accommodate larger patients, creating couchtops that hold more weight and overcoming technological obstacles to make bores wider and still obtain a high-quality image, both in computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) units.
