The formulas for the determination of SUVbw, SUVbsa, SUVlbm and SUVibw are defined in Sugawara et al. Reevaluation of the Standardized Uptake Value for FDG: Variations with Body Weight and Methods for Correction.Radiology, 1999 at http://radiology.rsna.org/content/213/2/521. The patient size correction factors are summarized here, where weight is in kg and height is in cm:
SUVbw: males & females: weight
SUVlbm: males: 1.10 * weight - 120 * (weight/height) ^2
females: 1.07 * weight - 148 * (weight/height) ^2
SUVbsa: males & females: weight^ 0.425 * height^0.725 * 0.007184
SUVibw: males: 48.0 + 1.06 * (height - 152)
females: 45.5 + 0.91 * (height - 152)
