Table 1.

Metrics (mean ± std) and corresponding inter-observer variation (IOV) for all ROIs for the in-house and external model, compared to the manual delineations and each other. Significant difference of metrics between the two models, when compared to manual delineations, is indicated with an asterisk. Inter-observer variations are acquired from 1: Almberg et al. [14], 2: Chung et al. [17], 3: Francolini et al. [18], 4: Leonardi et al. [19].
