Re: Measurement meaning???

[Guest guest]

So sorry to confuse you! I am not saying she has brachy. what I'm

saying is that I dont' think the measurement you're talking about is

the cepahalic index. I think it is the cranial vault asymmetry index -

like Molly said. At least according to the terms most people use.

I think she has plagio as you say, and that since you're ortho suggest

the number should be increasing, basically it means the two diagonals

would be more equal with a higher number. Please email me again, or

maybe molly can explain it better, if you're still freaked out. I

really don't think you have anything to worry about. It is just that

different orthos provide the data in different forms so when somebody

says 95% it not always the same thing.

take care.
