3D Kidney Segmentation from Abdominal Images Using Spatial-Appearance Models

Table 1

Segmentation accuracy of our method compared with Zhang et al. [47] approach based on the DC, PVD, and BHD95 metrics. Note that DC, PVD, BHD95, and SD stand for Dice coefficient, percentage volume difference, bidirectional 95th-percentile Hausdorff distance, and standard deviation, respectively.
