OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS: We have found no study assessing the accuracy of caliper cranium measurements compared to computed tomography (CT) measurements of the head. The objective of this study was to assess the reliability of caliper measurements in comparison to CT measurements.
Retrospective chart review.
This study includes all patients evaluated for head shape abnormality between 2010 and 2019 at a single academic medical center. Eighty-nine patients who had CT head scans were identified, and their caliper measurements of anterior-posterior and transverse head dimensions were documented.
There was no statistically significant difference between the CT and caliper measurements.
Caliper measurements are a simple and reliable way to assess cranial vault proportionality with growth after cranial vault reconstruction.

目的/假设:我们尚未发现评估卡尺颅骨测量值与头部计算机断层扫描 (CT) 测量值准确性的研究。本研究的目的是评估卡尺测量值与 CT 测量值的可靠性。
回顾性图表审查。
本研究包括 2010 年至 2019 年在一家学术医疗中心评估头型异常的所有患者。确定了 89 名接受头部 CT 扫描的患者,并记录了他们的卡尺测量的前后和横向头部尺寸。
CT 和卡尺测量值之间没有统计学上的显著差异。
卡尺测量值是评估颅顶重建后生长过程中颅顶比例的简单可靠方法。
