Analysis of intra- and inter-observer variability in 4D liver ultrasound landmark labeling
We highlight variability in expert-labeled ground truth data for 4D ultrasound imaging and identify ultrasound artifacts as a major source of labeling inaccuracies. These findings underscore the importance of addressing observer variability and artifact-related challenges to improve the reliability of ground truth data for evaluating target tracking algorithms in 4D ultrasound applications.
