I've been working in the radiology field for 10 yrs. my background is primarily In CT but I am MR trained and dying for experience.
So far in my experience the truly rotund just don't get the studies done. For instance, I use a GE CT scanner currently where the table has a weight limit of 500lbs. Over that? No exam. Can't fit in the gantry(big hole)? Sorry bro, no scan here. Can't find a vein in your gigantic arm? No contrast injection... Etc.
