The CT scan and mathematical model showed that 38% and 50% HCF proportions were generated by 50 mm and 60 mm CC depth. HCF proportions were significantly different between genders and among BMI groups. The recommended depth of 5-6 cm is likely to provide sufficient CC depth in the population of Thailand.
