The volume of the lower limbs was examined using the CT method and the formula method. The measurement range extended from a horizontal line 8 cm below the inferior border of the pubic symphysis to a line 5 cm above the medial malleolus. Differences and consistency between the two methods were compared to identify the optimal measurement interval. There were statistical differences between the formula and CT-calculated volumes at different measurement intervals, with the smallest difference at an interval of 5 cm (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">Z<\/jats:italic>\n                      = \u22124.664,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">p<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.001).
