Hi, at least you can do a indefined integration with eqn = a(1 - 2*x^2)^2 == -z^2: repl = Solve[eqn, x] // FullSimplify; lstInteg = integ /. repl // FullSimplify; lstDt = ((Map[Dt[#, Constants -> {a}] &, repl, {2}]) //. Verbatim[Dt][q_, Constants -> _] :> Dt[q]) /. ({_ -> b_}) :> b /. Dt[z] -> 1 Integrate[#, z] & /@ FullSimplify[#, a > 0] & /@ lstInteg*lstDt if you insert the transformed boundaries you may get a solution, if you look carefull to your integration path and the potential singularities inside.
