The 3 Image-Meater variables are all measured at the split line in the ham area (around M. gluteus medius): The results of the measurements shall be converted into estimates of the percentage of lean meat by using a computer. 3. The lean meat content of carcases shall be calculated according to the following formula: LMP = 68,06616 – 0,45829•MS + 0,11278•MF – 0,25545•WL where: LMP = the estimated percentage of lean meat in the carcass, MS — mean fat measure above (dorsal of) M. gluteus medius (mm), MF — mean meat measure — over the length of M. gluteus medius (mm), WL — mean length of the four lumbar vertebral bodies cranial of the M. gluteus medius (mm). 4. The measuring points are described in Part II of the protocol presented to the Commission by Germany in accordance with Article 23(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1249/2008.
