Comparison between structures defined by an experienced clinician and those created by SPICE

Volumes Heart 1 Heart 2 Lung–L Lung–R
Clinician volume (cc) 586.2 (435.4–779.9) 2086.7 (1597.6–2548.5) 2394.6 (1842.4–3094.9)
SPICE volume (cc) 628.2 (501.5–816.6) 491.7 (370.8–666.0) 1960.5 (1471.1–2419.6) 2261.6 (1711.3–2965.3)
Overlap volume (cc) 562.0 (419.4–749.1) 442.8 (332.1–606.9) 1954.2 (1467.2–2411.4) 2253.7 (1700.3–2945.0)
DSC 0.92 (0.90–0.94) 0.82 (0.78–0.87) 0.97 (0.96–0.97) 0.97 (0.96–0.97)
Doses Heart 1 Heart 2
Clinician mean dose (cGy) 73.4 (50.5–133.6)
SPICE mean dose (cGy) 71.5 (51.0–133.1) 75.5 (50.5–143.0)
Difference (cGy) 0.0 (−10.8–5.4) 2.4 (−3.8–15.3)

Values are specified as median (range). The two SPICE‐generated heart structures were compared to a single, clinician‐defined heart for each patient.
