More recently, available techniques such as 3D laser surface scanning and\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n scanning may be expected to quantify the\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n in an easier and more accurate way. This study provides the first comparison between\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n obtained from post\u2010mortem whole\u2010body\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n scans and\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n calculated by nine predictive formulae. The sample consisted of 54 male cadavers ranging from 20 to 87\u00a0years old. 3D reconstructions were generated from\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n scans using Mimics software, and\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n values were automatically extracted from the program. They were compared with nine predictive equations from the literature. Remarkably, close correlations (\n r<\/jats:italic>\n \u00a0>\u00a00\u00b790) were found between\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n values from\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n scans and those from the predictive formulae. A mean\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n of the 54 cadavers of 1\u00b784\u20131\u00b787\u00a0m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n was calculated by all formulae except one,\n SD<\/jats:styled-content>\n values varying between 0\u00b7171 and 0\u00b7223\u00a0m\n 2<\/jats:sup>\n .\n T<\/jats:italic>\n \u2010tests revealed significant differences between mean\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n values calculated with\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n and three of the formulae. Regression analyses showed intercepts >(0;0) and slopes <1\u00b70 using all predictive equations, with the\n CT<\/jats:styled-content>\n scan determination as gold standard. It is concluded that DuBois and DuBois\u2019 equation can be safely used in normal\u2010weight male subjects with high accuracy, but it seems likely that\n BSA<\/jats:styled-content>\n is underestimated in underweight subjects and overestimated in overweight individuals. Creation of new formulae specific for overweight subjects and children may be needed.\n
