Hemorrhage Volume Calculator for Intracerebral Hemorrhage on CT

Last edited and medically reviewed by on

Hemorrhage volume
0.0cm³
Anteroposterior diameter

Maximum anteroposterior diameter of the hemorrhage in mm.

Mediolateral diameter

Maximum mediolateral diameter of the hemorrhage in mm.

Number of image slices

Absolute number of slices on CT or MRI.

Slice thickness in mm

Thickness of a single slice in mm.

Ellipsoid calculation of hemorrhage volume

The volume of an intracerebral hemorrhage can be calculated using the simple ellipsoid approximation formula (A x B x C) / 2 when accurate volumetric measurement using specialized software is not possible1 where A is the greatest anteroposterior diameter, B is the greatest mediolateral diameter, and C is the height on the CT or MRI image.
