Abstract：objective To investigate the clinical application value of CT in measuring the quantity of cerebral hemorrhage and the midline shift. Methods 120 cases of cerebral hemorrhage were studied in our hospital, whose bleeding position, bleeding amount and the shift degree of midline structure were observed by using CT. Analysis was made of the relationship between mortality and the mid-line shift degree within one year after clinical treatment. Results Through CT, we detected basal ganglia hemorrhage in 78 cases, tha-lamic hemorrhage in 17 cases, lobar hemorrhage in 8 cases, cerebellar hemisphere hemorrhage in 10 cases, brain stem hemorrhage in 7 cases; 80 cases with cerebral hemorrhage volume ≤ 28 mL, and 40 cases > 28 mL, when the midline shifted 0 mm, 1 ~ 5 mm, 6~ 10 mm, and more than 10 mm, the mortality rates were 12. 6% , 21. 88% , 57. 14% and 78. 0% respectively. The more the mid-line shifted, the higher the mortality rate was. Conclusion Measurement of cerebral hemorrhage volume and midline shift by CT is of guiding significance for the clinical treatment of patients with cerebral hemorrhage.
