Synopsis

Inter-observer agreement is commonly used to evaluate the consistency of clinical diagnosis for two or more doctors. However, it is seldom to use to evaluate the consistency of clinical diagnosis for two or more deep learning models. In this study, four deep learning models for segmentation of stroke lesion were trained using GTs defined by two neuroradiologists with two ADC thresholds. We found the addition of an ADC threshold (0.6 × 10-3 mm2/s) helps eliminate inter-observer variation and achieve best segmentation performance. The inter-observer in two deep learning models shows the more consistent degree compared with inter-observer in two neuroradiologists.
