Results of the Contouring Challenge

Experiment iii

This experiment investigates the affect of complementary CT data on contouring performance in the patient images. The null hypothesis is that contouring accuracy is not affected by the level of usage of CT images by a contouring method.

Experimental design and results will be reported in the publication below, currently in press (30 May 2012)
