I just went for an MRI last month for my back and hardly fit into the tube, my shoulders hit on both sides. I'm no where near as big as I used to be. Made me laugh thinking about obese people trying to squeeze in there.

I didn't know they had stand up ones. They always tell me to lie perfectly still. That would probably prove quite difficult standing. But I'm sure it has its uses for specific areas of the body.
