How to detect bone density scan, so they weigh you as well?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If very overweight: Only if doing whole body scan or lumbar spine exam. The table usually has limit 300-350 pounds. If doing evaluation of extremity can do separate study with body not on table, then probably no issue.
