Zusammenfassung

Background Until today, BSA is still based on formula calculation in clinical practice, because direct measurements remain laborious and time consuming. Different prediction equations are published with unclear validity in obese people. Measurement of BSA by whole body magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) may serve as a gold standard. Methods The study population consisted of 70 subjects (35 women, 35 men, age 20–78 yrs, BMI 19.0-42.6 kg/m2). BSA was determined by analyzing circumference using the whole body transversal MRI images and the Java-based image analysis program ImageJ (NIH, ImageJ, 2017) was used. Circumf…
