what do measurements mean?

[Guest guest]

I haven't had my son's head measured yet. I see people speak of their

child's head in milimeters, what exactly is measured? Is there a way to

get a rough idea at home? Thanks!

When people talk about the severity of their child's plagio they are usually

talking about the difference in the measurement of the diagonals across the

child's head. Looking down at the top of your child's head, you would

measure one diagonal, U1, from the Front/Right to the Back/Left of the head,

and the second diagonal, U2, from the Front/Left to the Back/Right. U1-U2 =

the asymmetry.

You can look at this STARscan report:

and see the diagonals that I am referring to, marked Diag 1 and Diag 2.

Hopefully this makes sense!
