Table 6 Validation results for two models from the DS and DNS pipelines, both using input images of size 512\(\times\)512\(\times\)64 and Z-Score pixel intensity normalization, with pixel spacing normalization applied in the DS model.

  1. The first part of the table reports the mean DSC ± standard deviation and HD ± standard deviation over 5-fold cross-validation on the Duke-Breast-Cancer-MRI dataset, showing both the overall averages (Total) and values for each label (Breast, FGT, Vessels). The second part of the table provides a legend describing the model names.
  2. Bold values denote the best Total results.
