Evaluating Segmentation Using Betti-1 Topological Metric: Application to Nasal Cavities in the context of airflow simulation

Key Points

• Segmentation accuracy in nasal cavities shows significant improvements using the Betti-1 topological metric,
• A notable increase in accuracy was observed, with metrics supporting better airflow simulation results.
• Assessment using topological metrics enhances traditional methods for evaluating segmentation in structures.
• Further validation of this metric is needed in varying anatomical contexts to strengthen applications.
