This article offers the hypothesis that there is no significant difference between the mean biparietal diameter (BPD) and the average of the three diameters. It is further postulated that the VCD exhibits the greatest variability of the three diameters because of the location and arrangement of the skull sutures and fontanels. In the presence of fetal head molding this provides a method of correcting the BPD (3D BPD Correction). The 3D BPD can be used in any estimate of age or weight for more accuracy.
