Peri-hematomal edema (PHE) is a marker of secondary injury in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). PHE measurement on computed tomography (CT) is challenging and the principles used to detect PHE have not been described fully. We developed a systematic approach for CT-based measurement of PHE. Two independent raters measured PHE volumes on baseline and 24-hour post-ICH CT scans of twenty primary supratentorial ICH subjects. Boundaries were outlined with an edge-detection tool and adjusted after inspection of the three orthogonal planes. PHE was delineated with the additional principle that it should be (a) more hypodense than the corresponding area in the contralateral hemisphere and (b) most hypodense immediately surrounding the hemorrhage. We examined intra- and interrater reliability using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) and Bland-Altman plots for interrater consistency. CT-based PHE was also compared using MRI-based PHE detection for eighteen subjects. Median PHE volumes were 22.7 cc at baseline and 20.4 cc at 24-hours post-ICH. There were no statistically significant differences in PHE measurements between raters. Interrater and intrarater reliability for PHE were excellent. At baseline and 24-hours, interrater ICCs were 0.98 (0.96–1.00) and 0.98 (0.97–1.00); intrarater ICCs were 0.99 (0.99–1.00) and 0.99 (0.98–1.00). Bland-Altman analysis showed the bias for PHE measurements at baseline and 24 hours, −0.5 cc (SD, 5.4) and −3.2 cc (SD, 5.0), was acceptably small. PHE volumes determined by CT and MRI were similar (23.9 ± 16.9 cc vs. 23.9 ± 16.0 cc, R2 = 0.98, p < 0.0001). Our method measures PHE with excellent reliability at baseline and 24-hours post-ICH.
