High‐Resolution Three‐Dimensional Photonic Scan‐Derived Equations Improve Body Surface Area Prediction in Diverse Populations

Objective Equations for predicting body surface area (BSA) produce flawed estimates, especially for individuals with obesity. This study aimed to compare BSA measured by a three‐dimensional photonic scanner (3DPS) with BSA predicted by six commonly cited prediction equations and to develop new prediction equations if warranted. Methods The 3DPS was validated against manual measurements by breadth caliper for body thicknesses measured at three...
