  1. Significant values are in [bold].
  2. All nine models were trained on Training Cohort 1 using 5-fold cross-validation.
  3. aDSC: average Dice Coefficient Similarity. mDSC: median Dice Coefficient Similarity. aHD: average of 95% Hausdorff Distance. mHD: median of 95% Hausdorff Distance. The 95% confidential intervals are presented.
