[Measurement of intracranial hematoma volume by personal computer].

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.
