ABSTRACT

Obesity and overweight are now a terrible pandemia. They are the result of several factors (genetics, social and individual behavior, others diseases, among others), which generates an imbalance between the caloric intake and the caloric spent. In North America (specially in the United States and Mexico) it is really a big public health problem. The obesity is one major factor for the onset of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, dyslipidemias, etc. The modern medical imaging plays an important role in the integral attention to the patients, which is much more complex than in non-obese people. The difficulties are, from the reception of the patient to the physical limits of the tables of the equipment. The aim of this paper is to describe the complexity of the attention of the overweight and obese population when are attended in an Imaging department.
