Computer tomography-based body surface area evaluation for drug dosage: Quantitative radiology versus anthropomorphic evaluation

Objective The measure of body surface area (BSA) is a standard for planning optimal dosing in oncology. This index is derived from a model having questionable performances. In this study, we proposed measurement of BSA from whole body CT images (iBSA). We tested the reliability of iBSA assessments and simulated the impact of our approach on patient chemotherapy dosage planning. Methods We first evaluated accuracy and precision of iBSA in...
