Detailed Description

Body-surface-area-normalized SUV strategy (SUVbsa).

Uses the DuBois & DuBois (1916) formula:

BSA [m^2] = 0.007184 * W^0.425 * H_cm^0.725

with W = body weight in [kg] and H_cm = patient height in [cm] (the input heightM is multiplied by 100 internally).

Returns BSA expressed in [cm^2] (BSA_m2 * 10000). Combined with a [Bq/mL] PET image and a [Bq] dose, the resulting SUV has units [cm^2/mL].

Member Function Documentation

ComputeScaleNumerator()

double mitk::BodySurfaceAreaStrategy::ComputeScaleNumerator ( const SUVNormalizationInputs &  inputs ) const

overridevirtual

Compute the variant-specific scale numerator.

Parameters

[in]

inputs

The patient measurements available to the strategy.

Returns

The scale numerator in the strategy's output unit (see class documentation for the per-variant unit).

Exceptions

MissingSUVInputException

if a required field of inputs is missing or non-finite, or if sex is Sex::Other for a sex-specific strategy (Sex::Other must be resolved upstream; see SUVNormalizationInputs).

Implements mitk::SUVNormalizationStrategy.

Variant()

inlineoverridevirtual

Returns

The variant identifier this strategy implements.
