Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The more accurate calculate method was investigated according to the improved formula of intracranial hematoma using segment deducing.
METHODS:The improved formula was deduced to calculate the intracranial hematoma using the volume formula of the solid geometry. The volume of intracranial hematoma was measured as a related accurate standards using software. The volumes of intracranial hematoma calculated by the improved formula, Tada's formula and the software were compared.
RESULTS:The measure accuracy of the improved formula was higher than that of Tada's formula, and showed a similarity with that by using software method.
CONCLUSION:The improved formula method shows a more accurate result than Tada's formula, and can be used in forensic practice.
