Table 3:

Five criteria for quantitatively evaluating the segmentation accuracy.

Criteria Formula
DSC DSC = 2TP/(2TP+FP+FN)
PPV PPV = TP/(TP+FP)
IoU IoU = TP/(TP+FP+FN)
SEN SEN = TP/(TP+FN)
SPC SPC = TN/(TN+FP)

Note: TP (true positive) is the number of correctly classified tumor pixels; FN (false negative) is the number of tumor pixels labeled as normal pixels; TN (true negative) is the number of correctly classified normal pixels; FP (false positive) is the number of normal pixels labeled as tumor pixels.
