A comparative study between traditional head measurement and structured light three-dimensional scanning when measuring infant head shape.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study aimed to evaluate the correlation and consistency between traditional head measurement and structured light three-dimensional (3D) scanning parameters when measuring infant skull shape.

Methods

A total of 76 infants aged 3 months to 2.5 years old were included in the study. Head circumference (HC) was measured with a tape measure. The transverse, anteroposterior, and oblique diameters were measured using a spreading caliper, and the cranial vault asymmetry index (CVAI) and a cranial index (CI) of symmetry were calculated; 76 cases were measured successfully. The above indexes were measured using a structured light 3D scanning system (71 cases were measured with success). Thus, in the end, the valid data of 71 cases were analyzed, and the measurements of
