Item does not contain fulltext To evaluate pectus excavatum, 3-dimensional surface imaging is a promising radiation-free alternative to computed tomography and plain radiographs. Given that 3-dimensional images concern the external surface, the conventional Haller index, and correction index are not applicable as these are based on internal diameters. Therefore, external equivalents have been introduced for 3-dimensional images. However, cut-off values to help determine surgical candidacy using external indices are lacking. A prospective cohort study was conducted. Consecutive patients referred for suspected pectus excavatum received a computed tomography (≥18 years) or plain radiographs (
