The present study aimed at the comparison of body height estimations from cadaver length with body height estimations according to Trotter and Gleser (1952) and Penning and Riepert (2003) on the basis of femoral F1 section measurements in post-mortem computed tomography (PMCT) images.
In a post-mortem study in a contemporary Swiss population (226 corpses: 143 males (mean age: 53 ± 17 years) and 83 females (mean age: 61 ± 20 years)) femoral F1 measurements (403 femora: 199 right and 204 left; 177 pairs) were conducted in PMCT images and F1 was used for body height estimation using the equations after Trotter and Gleser (1952, "American Whites"), and Penning and Riepert (2003).
The mean observed cadaver length was 176.6 cm in males and 163.6 cm in females. Mean measured femoral length F1 was 47.5 cm (males) and 44.1cm (females) respectively. Comparison of body height estimated from PMCT F1 measurements with body height calculated from cadaver length showed a close congruence (mean difference less than 0.95 cm in males and less than 1.99 cm in females) for equations both applied after Penning and Riepert and Trotter and Gleser.
Femoral F1 measurements in PMCT images are very accurate, reproducible and feasible for body height estimation of a contemporary Swiss population when using the equations after Penning and Riepert (2003) or Trotter and Gleser (1952).
本研究旨在基于死后计算机断层扫描（PMCT）图像中的股骨F1截面测量值，比较根据尸体长度估算身高与根据特罗特和格莱泽（1952年）以及彭宁和里佩特（2003年）方法估算身高的结果。
在一项针对当代瑞士人群的死后研究中（226具尸体：143名男性（平均年龄：53±17岁）和83名女性（平均年龄：61±20岁）），在PMCT图像中进行了股骨F1测量（403根股骨：199根右侧和204根左侧；177对），并使用特罗特和格莱泽（1952年，“美国白人”）以及彭宁和里佩特（2003年）之后的公式，通过F1来估算身高。
男性尸体的平均观察长度为176.6厘米，女性为163.6厘米。测得的股骨平均长度F1分别为47.5厘米（男性）和44.1厘米（女性）。将根据PMCT F1测量值估算的身高与根据尸体长度计算的身高进行比较，结果显示，对于彭宁和里佩特以及特罗特和格莱泽之后应用的公式，两者高度一致（男性平均差异小于0.95厘米，女性小于1.99厘米）。
当使用彭宁和里佩特（2003年）或特罗特和格莱泽（1952年）之后的公式时，PMCT图像中的股骨F1测量对于当代瑞士人群的身高估算非常准确、可重复且可行。
