Abbreviations: CTV = clinical target volume; DSC = Dice similarity coefficient; FND = false negative Dice; FPD = false positive Dice; VD = volumetric difference.
Data represent means ± standard deviations.
P values were calculated with the Wilcoxon rank sum test to assess differences between experienced and junior physician contours.
