AVE, average; DSC, DICE similarity coefficient; II, inclusion index; JI, Jaccard index; MDC, mean distance to conformity; OOO, odd-one-out (the one differing from the others in the group); P1, P2, P3, patient 1, 2 and 3; SI, sensitivity index; TS, total score; VD, volume difference.

Standard deviations (SDs) are put in parentheses.

Statistically significant p-values (<0.05) are highlighted in bold.
