List of evaluation metrics and their definitions. The organization of the challenge defined individual lesions for recall and F1 as 3D connected components. N means the number of 3D connected components. d^(X,Y) means maxxXminyYd(x,y), where d(x, y) is the distance between x and y points. VML and VAL mean the WMH volume computed by manual segmentation and our method, respectively.
