Use Case(s)

Measurement of the head circumference is an important part of routine well-baby care. During the well-baby exam, a change from the expected normal head growth may alert the health care provider of a possible problem. Head circumference is a measurement of a child's head around its largest area and is commonly measured at birth and through early childhood development. It measures the distance from above the eyebrows and ears and around the back of the head.
