Automated versus semi-automated contour timing
Automated contouring of the LV 3D datasets was faster than
semi-automated contouring. The mean ± SD (minutes) in automated
contouring in in Centers 1-4 were 0.19 ± 0.02, 0.56 ± 0.16, 0.19 ± 0.06,
and 0.32 ± 0.09 minutes respectively (p<0.001). The mean ± SD
(minutes) in semi-automated contour timing in Center 1-5 were 2.66 ±
0.63, 2.39 ± 0.78, 3.35 ± 1.04, 3.48 ± 1.03, and 2.82 ± 0.66 minutes
respectively (p<0.001).
