Abstract
Identification, localization, and segmentation of the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic organs are important steps in computer-aided diagnosis, treatment planning, landmarking, and content-based retrieval of biomedical images. In this context, to aid the identification of the lower abdominal organs, to assist in image-guided surgery or treatment planning, to separate the abdominal cavity from the lower pelvic region, and to improve the process of localization of abdominal pathology, we propose methods to identify and segment automatically the pelvic girdle in pediatric computed tomographic (CT) images. The opening-by-reconstruction procedure was used for segmentation of the pelvic girdle. The methods include procedures to represent the pelvic surface by a quadratic model using linear least-squares estimation and to refine the model using deformable contours. The result of segmentation of the pelvic girdle was assessed quantitatively and qualitatively by comparing with the segmentation performed independently by a radiologist. On the basis of quantitative analysis with 13 CT exams of six patients, including a total of 277 slices with the pelvis, the average Hausdorff distance was determined to be 5.95 mm, and the average mean distance to the closest point (MDCP) was 0.53 mm. The average MDCP is comparable to the size of one pixel, on the average.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
