Description
Harold Yang Hu, Shaw Yang Hu, Min Yang, and Yanle Hu put forth a new score for outline quality in radiation therapy in a 2024 paper. Doctors draw outlines of organs on scans to aim treatment, and auto tools now draft many of them. A common score can miss how much hand fixing a draft still needs.
Their Hu similarity coefficient counts the share of outline points that need no change at all. Tests used public pelvis scan data, with the bladder drawn by an expert as truth. Fake draft sets held one score fixed while the other moved, in both ways. Four people then fixed the drafts to clinical grade while times were logged. Fix time tracked the new score strongly, which backs its use for triage.
