Occipito-Frontal Diameter (OFD)

Data sources

  • INTERGROWTH-21st: Centile and z-score tables for OFD.
  • NICHD: Does not include OFD as a standard measurement.

Mapping strategy

  • OFD is often used in combination with BPD to compute head circumference.
  • Not typically interpreted in isolation, but values <3rd or >97th centile may flag abnormal skull shape.

Planned extensions

  • Add derived indices (e.g., cephalic index = BPD / OFD x 100).
