In Equations 4 and 5, BSA denotes the body surface area, and t i in Equation 5 indicates the mid-time of the last frame of the [18F]fluciclatide scan (60.5 min).
Stereovision techniques were used to construct a low-cost body imaging system, a mesh subdivision algorithm was adapted for generating smooth body surface based on scanned data clouds, and simulation techniques were implemented for creating realistic virtual clothing on a reconstructed model.
The final dose of SIR-spheres administered in units of GBq was calculated according to each patient's body surface area and percentage of tumour involvement of liver (an assessment made by the radiologist after viewing the baseline CT scan).
Simplified parameters, e.g., standardized uptake value (SUV), using various normalization factors (body weight (BW), lean body mass (LBM), body surface area (BSA) and body mass index (BMI)), tumor-to-blood ratio (TBr), and tumor-to-muscle ratio (TMr), were calculated from the averaged images of both the 2 h p.i. as well as the 4 h p.i. PET scan.
The normalisation factor can be related to body surface area, lean body mass and body weight.
Patients who underwent a CT with RCM were paired with a patient scanned without RCM if the following could be matched: day 0 mCrCl, adjusted for body surface area, within 10%; vasopressor dependency within four hours preceding the scan; requirement for invasive ventilatory support at the time of scanning; and history of diabetes mellitus.
The first scan examined the anatomy of the torso, including all body surface electrodes applied to the patient's upper body.
Scanning electron microscopy revealed the lack of prokaryotes attached to the body surface of the loriciferans.
The three doses administered were 40 mg (body surface area <1.25 m), 50 mg (1.25< body surface area <1.50 m), and 60 mg (body surface area ⩾1.50 m).
Gills are evaginations of the body surface.
