Overcoming the Inter-Observer Variability
Features of a superior software for auto-contouring:
- High Speed – The software has to be fast and extract
the contour in a fraction of a second.
- High Accuracy – Being fast does not help if the
result is not accurate, whereas accuracy is the agreement
or overlap of the software result with the expectations
of the individual experts.
- Trainability – The software has to be trainable
for each individual clinical expert such that he/she can
establish his/her own best contours; the training should
customize a contouring assistant for each individual expert.
- Consensus Building – a trainable software that
captures the individual contouring and editing preferences
of each doctor is the necessary step for building a consensus
contour; to remove the variability you have
to capture it first!
- Consistency Verification – a trainable and consensus
oriented software should also be capable of verifying how
consistent the user’s contours are.
