assists the treating physician in establishing a
diagnosis.
– In order to make a precise diagnosis and ini-
tiate therapeutic measures, besides determi-
nation of the weight, further targeted
examinations must be set up by the physi-
cian, and their results must be considered.
– The responsibility for diagnosis and treatment
lies with the treating physician.
