How Analyze was Used
“NCCT scans were performed by using standard clinical parameters with axial 5 mm
slice thickness. Radiological variables including location and volume of hematoma were
assessed by using computed tomography (CT) scan images. Furthermore, the semi‐auto‐
mated computer‐assisted volumetric analysis (AnalyzeDirect medical imaging software,
version 11.0; AnalyzeDirect, Inc., Overland Park, KS, USA) was used for measuring he‐
matoma volumes and IVH volumes. A semi‐automated threshold‐based approach (range
of 44–100 Hounsfield Units) was applied to identify hematoma regions, as previously de‐
scribed. Hematoma and ventricular hemorrhage were manually traced in the hyper‐
dense area surrounding the hematoma on each slice and calculated with AnalyzeDirect
software. All NCCT scans were independently evaluated by two experienced neurolo‐
gists. Both readers were blinded to all clinical information.”
