Measuring head circumference using visual impressions or cross-sectional volumetric imaging: a comparison.

Background: Head circumference (HC) correlates with brain growth and development. However, radiologists typically use their visual impressions to evaluate head dimensions, which is a purely subjective assessment.

Objective: The first objective of this paper was to analyze whether it is possible to obtain HC measurements by CT and MRI cross-sectional volumetric imaging using parameters similar to the tape measurement method, which is considered the gold standard.
