Pairwise interobserver contour agreement and confidence from Experienced observer cohort (3 observers)
DSC | MCCD (mm) | Observer rating | |
---|---|---|---|
CBCT | 0.82 (0.13) | 2.94 (1.58) | 4 (4) |
US | 0.81 (0.14) | 2.25 (2.67)∗ | 7 (3)∗ |
CBCT-US fusion | 0.87 (0.07)† | 1.63 (0.63)† | 8 (2)† |
Abbreviations: CBCT = cone beam computed tomography; DSC = Dice similarity coefficient; MCCD = mean contour-to-contour distance; US = ultrasound.
Median and interquartile range results from the pairwise analysis from the 3 observers in the Experienced cohort for (column 1) the DSC, (column 2) the MCCD, and (column 3) observer ratings of contour confidence (1 = extremely unconfident and 10 = extremely confident). Symbols indicate significant differences (P < .005) between imaging modalities within a column.
Significant difference between CBCT and US.
CBCT-US fusion is significantly different from both CBCT and US.
