Feasibility of using a novel automatic cardiac segmentation algorithm in the clinical routine of lung cancer patients
Fig 3
A representative example of the differences in automatic segmentation using our proposed method (blue contour), propagation of delineations from the 0% phase using deformable image registration, and independent automatic segmentation for each individual phase (orange contour), compared to manual contouring (blue contour).
This figure illustrates results for the 40% phase image, where maximum deviation would be expected. There are minor variations at the base and apex of the heart.
