Note. DSC = dice similarity coefficient
JC = Jaccard coefficient
= average distance between surfaces
= distance between centroids
= relative difference of areas of DVHs
= dose-organ overlap
CNS = brain and spinal canal.
For organs composed of two separate volumes, reported is the maximum value of the individual sub-volumes.
