Abstract

Objective: To explore the method for intracranial hematoma volume measurement by the personal computer.

Methods: Forty cases of various intracranial hematomas were measured by the computer tomography with quantitative software and personal computer with Photoshop CS3 software, respectively. the data from the 2 methods were analyzed and compared.

Results: There was no difference between the data from the computer tomography and the personal computer (P>0.05).

Conclusion: The personal computer with Photoshop CS3 software can measure the volume of various intracranial hematomas precisely, rapidly and simply. It should be recommended in the clinical medicolegal identification.
