Automatic segmentation of cardiac substructures from noncontrast CT images: accurate enough for dosimetric analysis?

CONCLUSIONS: Automatic segmentation of cardiac substructures did not require substantial modifications. Dosimetric evaluation showed no significant difference between the auto-segmented and modified contours for most structures, which suggests that the auto-segmented contours can be used to study cardiac dose-responses in clinical practice.
