Scans come in bytes not pixels. You can get 16 bit RGB drum scans up to 1200 Mb (megabytes) or grayscale 16 bit scans up to 370 Mb. 

These are huge files!
The more proper unit however is the pixel. The size in bytes contains info about how much colour/tone info could be (!) recorded per pixel. 1200 MB @ 16 bit per pixel is an image counting 629.145.600 pixels (about 600 megapixel).
