hi kristen-i believe that the 14 mm diff they are referring to, is the difference b/t the oblique diag 1-oblique diag 2. hope this helps. my son dean was banded at 4 months and started with a 10mm assym-we got great results in less than 3 months-he went down to a 3.6mm diff which is in the "normal" range-whatever normal really is....haha. good luck with your adventure-it really isn't that bad-it will be over before you know it-keep me posted!

Hi,
My son Bradley has his first appointment on the 8 of this month and
will be getting his starband on tues the 22nd. But I am still
confused when it comes to the numbers and results of the scan. this
is what it says:

Circumference (mm) 471.3
Cranial Breadth(M-L) (mm) 147.6
Cranial Length(A-P) (mm) 151.6
Cephalic Ratio(M-L/A- P) 0.973
Radial Symmetry Index(RSI0 (mm) 65.1

Oblique Diagonal 1 at -30.0 deg (mm) 159.9
Oblique Diagonal 2 at 30.0 deg (mm) 145.7
Oblique Cranial Minimum at 63.7 deg (mm) 140.4
Oblique Cranial Maximum at -33.9 deg (mm) 160.3

Q1 Volume (A/L) (cc) 256.5
Q2 Volume (A/R0 (cc) 203.8
Q3 Volume (P/R) (cc) 259.2
Q4 Volume (P/L) (cc) 254.3
Anterior Symmetry Ratio 0.795
Posterior Symmetry Ratio 0.9981
Overall Symmetry Ratio 0.888

Upper Facial Left (TrL-Se) (mm)94.1
Upper Facial Right (trR-Se) (mm) 100.0
Upper Facial Symmetry Ratio 0.941

Ear Offset (mm) 8.4
Cranial Base WIdth (TrL-TrR) (mm) 138.7
Vertex Hight (Lev0-Lev10) (mm) 104.9

Can anyone please help me read this and tell me what it says. Or give
me an idea of what they usual look at. I am just really confused. All
I know is that somewhere in all those numbers it is suppose to mean
that he is at a 14mm which is moderate plagio. But I would like to
know how it says that and what all rest of it means. So if anyone or
everyone can please help i would appreciate it.
Thanks in advance
Kristen
