| KEY FINDINGS: | |
| ------------- | |
| OVERLAP-BASED METRICS: | |
| 1. Three-class segmentation shows 43.87% improvement in Dice coefficient | |
| 2. Three-class segmentation shows 63.30% improvement in IoU coefficient | |
| 3. Dice improvement is statistically significant (p<0.05) | |
| 4. IoU improvement is statistically significant (p<0.05) | |
| SURFACE-BASED METRICS: | |
| 5. HD95 shows 10.12% reduction (lower is better) | |
