New Methods of Subdural Hematoma Volume Estimates

Subdural hematoma is one of the common intracranial hematomas. Hematoma morphology presents a crescent shape. Most usually, the Dorian formula is used to estimate the volume, but the error is large. The aim of this paper was to better measure the volume of spherical segment to derive on improved formula for calculating the subdural hematoma volume. It uses hematoma volume measured by a computer software as a more accurate standard. We make the calculation values of the hematoma volume to compare with Dorian formula separately. Finally, studying a new method, which is more simple and accurate for subdural hematoma volume estimates, has important clinical significance and practical value.
