  1. Accurate/inaccurate is determined by the 0.61 DSC threshold, and certain/uncertain is determined by the predicted confidence threshold at 0.61 the cross-validation DSC. The overall segmentation accuracy is defined as the accuracy vs uncertainty (\({AU}\)). Best results for each model are in bold.
