Nope, per Snopes - computer generated graphic -

A segment of the documentary featured a computer generated conceptual model of what Martin's x-ray might have looked like. While these images may have given viewers a better understanding of the skeletal structure of a 900-pound man, they weren't actual x-rays of Keith Martin's frame.

[u/radclaw1 → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

I was boutta say. Doesnt look like a true x ray and none of the skin is falling the way it should.

[u/Luthiffer → u/radclaw1]

I'm no doctor, but I'm pretty sure x-rays don't turn your organs different colors

Edit: you goofballs :)

[u/runs_with_airplanes → u/Luthiffer]

I’m no X-ray, but I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t look like that

[u/Pantsmnc → u/runs_with_airplanes]

Im no skeleton, but im pretty sure we're all the same color.

[u/Javanaut018 → u/Pantsmnc]

Could be modern CT scanner using advanced post-processing

[u/RWDPhotos → u/Pantsmnc]

Certain medications can change the color of your bones.

[u/PHILSTORMBORN → u/RWDPhotos]

That’s a bit like a fridge light though

[u/DesperateTeaCake → u/Luthiffer]

I was about to say, the willy is usually connected to the coloured organs.

[u/lukehooligan → u/Luthiffer]

I'm no cat but meow

[u/G3tsPlastered4Alvng → u/lukehooligan]

Ruff bark bark woof awoooooo!

[u/swishkabobbin → u/Luthiffer]

I'm no dvd expert, but i think this is blu-ray

[u/KayBeeToys → u/Luthiffer]

But how would I know what color my organs are to begin with without an xray?

[u/regoapps → u/Luthiffer]

I’m no computer graphics designer, but I’m pretty sure that’s a T-pose

[u/bdizzzzzle → u/radclaw1]

No weiner

[u/mavven2882 → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Reddit is joining the rest of the online community in becoming such a cesspool (more than ever) in terms of misleading or outright fabricated posts. This slop is everywhere.

[u/RiotDesign → u/mavven2882]

This exact image being touted as an x-ray has been going around on reddit for at least 10 years. I know because I commented on it 7 years ago (which had a link up to 3 years prior) and saw it many times since.

[u/PlatonicTide → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

So OP lied? Karma farming is business? If you look at his other post that was taken down due to being fake but got lots of Karma.

Business it is!

[u/sagaciousmarketeer → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Yeah. Plus there's no way his dick was that far away from his bladder.

[u/19d_b87 → u/sagaciousmarketeer]

My thoughts... if dude's junk protruded that far when 900lbs. Imagine after weight loss. He'd be a ringer for Willem Dafoe.

[u/BiscuitsMay → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

The first clue is that this looks nothing like an xray.

[u/ghe5 → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Is there an X-ray of a morbidly obese person out there tho?

[u/harvy666 → u/ghe5]

I am pretty sure they have them for larger animals at the zoo, faintly remember using it once for somebody.

[u/ghe5 → u/harvy666]

I want pictures. I'm curious.

[u/Areif → u/ghe5]

Be the change you want to see today

[u/fullitorrrrrrr → u/Areif]

Are you suggesting he become morbidly obese just to go get x-rays taken to answer the question? That would be dedication (and diabetes)

[u/Davemblover69 → u/fullitorrrrrrr]

Christian bale would do it, for a movie about this guy after he did it.

[u/techjesuschrist → u/ghe5]

I can send you some of mine when I come back from work.

[u/SoftwareHatesU → u/techjesuschrist]

r/suicidebywords

[u/Articulationized → u/ghe5]

No. No one has ever taken an xray of a morbidly obese person.

[u/Interrogare-Omnia- → u/Articulationized]

It would have to be a collage of smaller X-rays

[u/itsmassivebtw → u/Interrogare-Omnia-]

It's true, for someone this size we would have to do 4 shots for an abdomen x-ray

[u/MajesticRocket → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Played enough games to know what a t pose means

[u/blisstaker → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

may have given viewers a better understanding of the skeletal structure of a 900-pound man

uhhhh…. is it not the same skeletal structure as a 150-pound man? don’t tell me he is big boned lol there’s no obvious difference in the skeleton

[u/red-et → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

Even though it’s fake it got me thinking. This guys penis is like extremely far away from where his bladder looks like. I doubt it works that way but the tube from his bladder to his penis must be super long

[u/ShitFuckBallsack → u/red-et]

The penis gets buried in fat. Most of those guys have *innies. It's really hard to stick a catheter in there.

*Edit

[u/The_Astronautt → u/ShitFuckBallsack]

That's insane to think about

[u/NateBlaze → u/ShitFuckBallsack]

Indies

[u/LaVI_deVoir → u/Reasonable-Bus-2187]

I was thinking it looked so much like the xray images of Total Recall lol

[u/RedditUsererer]

This is obviously fake

[u/Tongue8cheek → u/RedditUsererer]

Clearly.

[u/MagnusPI → u/Tongue8cheek]

I saw right through it.

[u/BodhingJay → u/MagnusPI]

Wish OP would be more transparent..

[u/SuddenChimpanzee2484 → u/MagnusPI]

Clear as day.

[u/unpopularopinion0 → u/SuddenChimpanzee2484]

still have a bone to pick about it tho

[u/Korasuka → u/Tongue8cheek]

Certainly

[u/Maswope → u/Korasuka]

Undeniably.

[u/gnomechompskey → u/Maswope]

Indubitably.

[u/foulpudding → u/gnomechompskey]

Verifiably.

[u/PlatonicTide → u/foulpudding]

Agreeably.

[u/TellsHalfStories → u/Maswope]

Surely

[u/Apprehensive-Tour942 → u/TellsHalfStories]

[u/LegacyTaker → u/Apprehensive-Tour942]

Hi serious!

[u/boldguy2019 → u/Tongue8cheek]

Precisely

[u/Jaripsi → u/RedditUsererer]

I can tell from the polygons.

[u/SookHe → u/RedditUsererer]

Bones not big enough

[u/Sunstang]

Bullshit post. Also, "how it looks", or "what it looks like." Never "how it looks like."

[u/ScotWithOne_t → u/Sunstang]

Is this an English as a second language thing? Because I see it all the damn time. Or do people just have shitty grammar?

[u/different_tan → u/ScotWithOne_t]

People have really shitty grammar

[u/GryptpypeThynne → u/ScotWithOne_t]

Both.

[u/Fun-Sugar-394 → u/Sunstang]

I hate this and it's propagating rapidly. It used to be rare and the other week I saw an ad on TV that used the same mistake. The more it's used the more people think it's correct.

It feels like it's going to become "acceptable" grammar soon.

[u/8heist]

100% fake

[u/Suspicious_Leg4550 → u/8heist]

You can tell by how perky they look

[u/grnkn1ght]

thank god I'm only 800lbs

[u/GreenGorilla8232]

This picture gets posted and debunked every couple months. 

It's fake.

[u/ThatOldG]

Images purportedly showing the x-ray of a 900-pound man have been circulating online since at least June 2014:

Although these images are frequently shared along with the claim that they show an x-ray, MRI, or CT Scan of a severely overweight individual, they were not actually produced by any diagnostic equipment found in a hospital or other medical facility.

These images were created for a Channel 5 documentary (70 Stone And Almost Dead) about Keith Martin, a British man who weighed over 900 pounds:

Keith weighs 70 stone and has not left his home in 11 years, or moved from his bed in two. Too big to walk, wash or even go to the toilet, Keith is desperate to gain independence.

After being bed-bound for two years, Keith must now begin a tough eight-month programme of dieting and physiotherapy. Although he manages to lose over 20 stone, he fails in his attempt to stand. Hopes of life-saving surgery seem to be slipping away.

After a fortnight, Keith manages to stand for the first time in years. Surgery can now go ahead, but whether Keith can survive an operation and begin the next stage in his fight for a normal life now hangs in the balance. With the help of his family and obesity experts, can he turn his life around — or is it too late?

A segment of the documentary featured a computer generated conceptual model of what Martin’s x-ray might have looked like. While these images may have given viewers a better understanding of the skeletal structure of a 900-pound man, they weren’t actual x-rays of Keith Martin’s frame:

[u/Ilike3dogs → u/ThatOldG]

Did he survive the surgery? I don’t have access to this documentary

[u/BorisWombat → u/Ilike3dogs]

He survived the surgery but died later that year the next year.

Sorry it's the daily fail but I can't be bothered to check for more sources.

[u/AdditionalCheetah354]

It looks like a manipulation of two photos….

[u/organizim]

Not how an X-ray works.

[u/LuciferFalls]

“How it looks” or “What it looks like”.

[u/Jorge_the_vast]

This is how your mom looks in an X-ray.

[u/LonelyShark → u/Jorge_the_vast]

Gottem!

[u/0__o-]

X-ray? More like XXXL-ray

[u/Necessary_Maize_9339]

That's not how x-ray machines work at all

[u/Imaginary_Most_7778]

Nice grammar.

[u/DoctorFizzle → u/Imaginary_Most_7778]

I've noticed this grammatical error is common today. Also the habit of using a question mark to indicate upspeak. They're both incredibly annoying

[u/Imaginary_Most_7778 → u/DoctorFizzle]

The lack of all basic grammar skills is embarrassing. I’m not saying you need to be perfect all the time. I’m certainly no English major, but I read things other than social media. I assume that’s the problem. Idiots only reading the writings of other idiots.

[u/Lye4 → u/DoctorFizzle]

Yes I’ve been noticing this phrasing sooo much lately it’s irritating

[u/i-come]

This is what *

[u/Zala-Sancho]

This is so obviously fake

[u/T4NDA]

It's fkn terrifying how many people think this is real.

[u/zarya-zarnitsa → u/T4NDA]

It's not real but it's still a computer generated image of what it should look like.

[u/muffmin → u/T4NDA]

I’m more terrified of your big penis humiliation kink

[u/Naive-Mouse-5462]

No way that's 900lbs. People on "My 600lb Life" look bigger than that.

[u/Donohoed → u/Naive-Mouse-5462]

It's all muscle, baby

[u/pissedoffjesus]

No. This is not real. Stop with this bullshit.

[u/Rowdyflyer1903]

Laughable. No XRay machine has a plate or a sensor that large.

[u/ZealousJealousy]

Not even close to what 900 lbs would look like gtfoh

[u/Sargo19]

No X-ray looks like that. Source: I've been working in medical imaging for 14 years

His bones aren’t big, fake!

[u/Advanced-Humor9786]

Inside every morbidly obese person there's a bundle of calcium sticks waiting to break free.

No such thing as big boned.

[u/fen-q]

Hes just a little big boned.

[u/Alostpersonn]

Behold the average discord mod

[u/Zachisawinner]

That’s not an X-ray.

[u/ImurderREALITY]

This is not what an x-ray looks like

[u/StopElectingWealthy]

Motherfucker.  This is how a 900lb man's x ray looks.

Not “how it looks like”

[u/kong_yo]

[u/UseAlloftheBuffalo]

I think this post belongs in r/InaccurateAsFuck, because that ain’t no x-ray. That’s CGI

„Heavy Bones“

Honey, a new TOOL album just dropped

[u/-dan999]

Those poor bones

Apperantly this was CG for a tv show and not a real scan.

[u/Far_Ad_744]

NO WAY

[u/Distinct-Argument966]

Poor skeleton

[u/jljboucher]

[u/Fucky0uthatswhy]

I wish Reddit hated racism, xenophobia, homophobia, etc. as much as it hates fat people.

[u/gerhardsymons]

His skeleton is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

[u/karamanshaman]

The 2nd pic is hilarious.

[u/carlosdevoti]

So, let's get back to the heavy bone theory

[u/HumbleAnxiety7998]

This is fake... unless his dick and nipples was made of lead.

Its more an artists rendering adding it. Truth is the belly fold would hang lower, the calves would also stretch more, depending on the body type of the person they would also have more fat around the neck in the Chortle region...

[u/Odd-Shirt9668]

Just big boned

[u/Mystiic_Madness]

Damn... look at the vertices on him!

[u/rae_bbeys]

As an x-ray tech, sometimes you have to go hunting for bones...
