"If the measurements are made in centimetres (cm), then the volume will be in cubic centimetres (cm3) or millilitres (mL) (numerically equivalent). The volume does tend to overestimate the true volume, with errors increasing in more irregularly-shaped and larger haemorrhages 7."

"ABC/2, also confusingly written as 1/2ABC in some literature, is a fast and simple method for estimating the volume of intracerebral haemorrhage (or any other ellipsoid lesion for that matter) which does not require volumetric 3D analysis or software."

Line 1:12 · 'ABC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"Intracerebral haemorrhage volume is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality (and thus trial eligibility) which is often under-reported 1. ABC/2 has been well-validated and correlates highly with volumes calculated by planimetric techniques, although does tend to overestimate 2,3,7."

Line 2:163 · 'ABC' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.

"If π (Greek letter pi) is approximated to 3, then the formula can be simplified to ABC/2 (in truth, π is an irrational number, starting 3.141...)."
