Note: Bold values represent the statistically significant improvements (calculated using Wilcoxon matched-pairs signed rank test) as compared between UaNet and SOARS. When the mandible is considered as a single OAR instead of left and right mandible, SOARS achieves the mean DSC, HD and ASD of 89.1%, 5.4 mm, and 0.5 mm, respectively. Similarly, when the thyroid is considered as a single OAR instead of left and right thyroid, SOARS achieves the mean DSC, HD, and ASD of 83.5%, 7.0 mm, and 1.0 mm, respectively.
