Cuce et al reported equations for estimating the volume of an intracerebral hematoma. The authors are from Guthane Education and Training Hospital and Istanbul Arel University in Turkey.
Patient selection: intracerebral hematoma
Evaluation: brain CT or MRI
Parameters:
(1) anteroposterior length in cm
(2) width in cm
(3) height in cm (may be determined by number of slices multiplied by slice thickness)
estimated volume in mL =
= (X * (length) * (width) * (height)) + Y
