Description

A model of the human body must reflect on physiological factors such as body surface area (BSA) and configuration factors between the human body model and its surroundings. In this study, a rectangular frame was fabricated and 3900 scales were incorporated to accurately measure loci of the specific points on the subject's body surface. The model of subject's whole body was then described on three dimensional graph and its surface area and configuration factor were compared with BSA measured with a ganpi paper method and the effective radiation factor (ERF) measured with a photografic method, respectively. BSA and ERF of models described with 16mm and 48mm coordinates showed no significant differences as compared with true values. Therefore, a roughly shaped model of maximum 48mm coordinates may be applicable with regard to BSA and ERF.
