title: [Comparative study for the methods on measuring intracranial hemorrhage volume].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To explore a method of measuring intracranial hemorrhage to be applied in clinical forensic science.
  
  
  METHODS
  The accurace of the methods of Tada formula, Stereology and Software boundary to measure intracranial hemorrhage and their practicability were compared.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The measured results of Stereology and Software boundary are precise, but the irregularity haematoma volume measured by the method of Tada formula has a high error value.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The method of stereolgy is the best in measuring intracranial hemorrhage for clinical forensic science.
