 graphy  - Dr. Karen Knapp\, University of Exeter Medical School\, Exeter\,

DESCRIPTION:Obesity is increasing with over half of all men and women in t
 he UK being classed as overweight in 2013\, while approximately a quarter 
 are considered to be obese.  The increasing body weight and fat mass withi
 n the population results in increased health complications and challenges 
 in diagnostic imaging.   Unsatisfactory images are not uncommon in project
 ion radiography and in dual energy x-ray absorptiometry\, increased precis
 ion errors makes the monitoring of therapeutic interventions difficult.  T
 his presentation will cover the challenges related to projection radiograp
 hy and DXA scanning in this population and will propose some methods to mi
 tigate these.
