Measurements of Baby Flat Head Severity with Craniometer (Objective Measurement and Monitoring Progress)

Measurement of cranial vault asymmetry (CVA) is a common feature in the treatment of patients with deformational plagiocephaly (DP). In many cases, this measure is the primary marker of improvement. CVA is typically measured with calipers/Craniometer and the reading is very close to those from the £D photogrammetry.
