Comparative Evaluation of Measurement Methods for Positional Skull Deformities in Infants

While all 3 techniques provide valuable information, caliper measurement remains a rapid, cost-effective, and fast screening tool. Subsequent evaluation with 3D photogrammetry is recommended for treatment planning. Plagiocephalometry-although provided with high intra- and interrater reliablity-offers no significant advantages in daily practice. Standardization of measurement landmarks and definition of index calculation is needed to internationally standardize and harmonize clinical decision-making.

Abstract

While all 3 techniques provide valuable information, caliper measurement remains a rapid, cost-effective, and fast screening tool. Subsequent evaluation with 3D photogrammetry is recommended for treatment planning. Plagiocephalometry-although provided with high intra- and interrater reliablity-offers no significant advantages in daily practice. Standardization of measurement landmarks and definition of index calculation is needed to internationally standardize and harmonize clinical decision-making.
