The Volume Calculation for the Hematoma of the Up-Down Asymmetric Similar Ellipsoid With Maximum Cross-Section

In clinical studies, epidural hematoma is one of the common intracranial hematomas, whose morphology mostly presents the similar ellipsoid shape, which is an up-down asymmetry with the maximum cross-section. Usually, the Dorian formula is used to estimate the volume, but this formula is a method that considers hematoma as a regular hematoma to measure. If the hematoma is estimated by the Dorian formula, the error is usually larger. Therefore, the clinical requirements cannot be satisfied by the Dorian formula. According to the volume of ellipsoidal segment formula, this paper will conclude the formula of calculating the epidural hematoma volume. It uses hematoma volume measured by computer software, which is a more accurate standard. To verify the accuracy of the method, we compare the hematoma volume calculated by this formula with that of the Dorian formula separately. Finally, the results show that this method has important clinical significance and practical value.
