Analytic calculations and synthetic shapes for validation of quantitative contour comparison software

Djamal Boukerroui et al.

Summary: A recent survey of contour similarity measures (CSMs) calculation tools revealed a high level of variability in reported values. This variability in output measurements hinders meaningful comparison between studies. The aim of this study was to create a dataset with analytically calculated gold standard values in order to promote standardization and ensure accuracy of CSM implementations. This dataset, generated in the DICOM format, along with the software used for its creation, is publicly available to encourage robust testing of CSM implementations for accuracy and to improve consistency between different implementations.

Multicenter comparison of measures for quantitative evaluation of contouring in radiotherapy

Mark J. Gooding et al.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the variation in output when applying different implementations of quantitative measures in radiation oncology. The survey results showed significant differences in the reported results between institutions due to variations in definitions and implementations of contouring measures. Therefore, caution must be taken when comparing quantitative results from different studies, and validation of such tools is necessary before their use.
