Table 1 Data characteristics including patient demographics, image properties, and data sources. Values with a plus/minus sign represent the means ± standard deviation. Note that the values of age and sex in the external testing set are not provided because they were de-identified before data collection. \(\chi ^{2}\) test was used for P-value of categorical variables such as label, sex, and manufacturer. Analysis of variance (marked as \(\dagger \)) was used for age.
