Estimation of a patients body surface area (BSA) is necessary for determining dosages of some drugs and for setting CT scanning parameters in terms of radiation exposure. This tool estimates BSA from height and weight according to five different equations: Mosteller; Dubois and Dubois; Haycock; Gehan and George; and Boyd.
Latest reviews of Body Surface Area Calculator app for iPhone and iPad
Not so great
Only works in landscape mode. It takes a second or two to come up with the answer. Its blurry. Fix these issues and add a BMI calculator & youd have a winner.
