Manual segmentation of femoral bone metastases is very challenging and resulted in unsatisfactory mean reliability values. There is a need for development of a segmentation protocol to reduce the inter- and intra-operator segmentation variation as the first step and use of computer-assisted segmentation tools as a second step as this study shows that manual segmentation of femoral metastatic lesions is highly challenging.
