Use of computed tomography to determine body surface area and <i>K</i>-constant in Atlantic Stingrays for chemotherapeutic dosing
These results provide a method for calculating BSA in Atlantic Stingrays. The CT-derived BSA formula can be used for allometric dosing of chemotherapeutic agents and other drugs in a clinical setting; in a broader sense, the formula can be applied to studies of nutrition, metabolic rate, and physiology.
