Basal cell carcinoma of the eyelids and solar ultraviolet radiation exposure

Table 2

Distribution of ultraviolet radiation to the seven sites around each eye. The read values were converted to fraction of the mean of the readings for each eye from each exposure. The means for the exposures for each site (right and left eyes together) are presented for the manikin in sitting and recumbent position, and for the subjects

Location Manikin/sitting
Mean of 12 exposures
(SD)
Manikin/recumbent
Mean of 5 exposures
(SD)
Subjects/various activities
Mean of 7 exposures
(SD)
Upper medial 1.12 (0.23) 1.39 (0.31) 0.75 (0.22)
Upper middle 1.41 (0.26) 1.17 (0.15) 1.02 (0.48)
Upper lateral 0.69 (0.26) 0.69 (0.15) 1.45 (0.51)
Lower medial 1.14 (0.21) 1.07 (0.12) 0.79 (0.29)
Lower middle 1.03 (0.21) 1.16 (0.17) 1.00 (0.38)
