Values were standardised as indices of body surface area (ITBVI) or pre-admission body weight (EVLWI, CBVI, ECWI and IDVGI).

Miles, a noted academic and consultant in the field of oral and maxillofacial radiology, has created this color atlas of cone beam volumetric imaging (
CBVI), which is an alternative to conventional CT methods currently used in dentistry.
