Deep Learning Combined with Radiologist’s Intervention Achieves Accurate Segmentation of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Dual-Phase Magnetic Resonance Images

Table 1

Results of DCNN-F, DFN-F, DFN-R, and the segmentation by the radiologist with moderate experience. Comparisons of performance were performed by using paired -test.
