CI/CVAI/CVA were calculated from photos and caliper measurements, and from 3D photogrammetry of the head as ground truth. Digital and caliper measurements were compared against 3D-based ground truth using mean absolute error, Spearman correlation coefficient, and Bland-Altman method. Statistical significance between methods was assessed using Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test.Participants71 infants aged 2-11 months (20 female, 51 male) with DPBResultsThe mean absolute errors for CI, CVAI, CVA were 1.63 ± 1.44, 1.45 ± 1.29, 2.38 ± 1.86 mm for smartphone, and 2.60 ± 1.96, 1.43 ± 1.22, 2.04 ± 1.81 mm for calipers, respectively. The correlation coefficients for CI, CVAI, CVA between smartphone and ground truth were 0.90, 0.94, 0.80 (p < 0.001), and 0.87, 0.93, 0.84 (p < 0.001) between calipers and ground truth, respectively.

Digital and caliper measurements were similar (p = 0.12) except for CI, where digital measurements were more accurate (p = 0.04).ConclusionSmartphone-based cranial measurements have very high correlation with 3D-based ground truth, and they are comparable or superior to caliper measurements. Digital measurements can be performed in pediatric offices or from home to help with the early detection and treatment of DPB.","PeriodicalId":49220,"journal":{"name":"Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Journal","volume":" ","pages":"1592-1597"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141972136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
