Auto-contouring algorithms improve consistency

• Source to Background ratio (SBR) determines a threshold level,

determined from phantom experiments (FDG-filled spheres in

• 5 observers delineated the tumor manualy (a) and edited an SBR-

based contour if they deemed necessary (b)

• The SBR-based and edited contours show much less variability
