Abstract
A 70 year old male with a history of inoperable pancreatic cancer with peritoneal metastases was evaluated by FDG PET/CT imaging for disease extent and therapy response after 4 cycles of chemotherapy. PET/CT demonstrated mildly increased uptake at the primary site within the pancreatic neck and in the peritoneum. An unexpected finding involved increased uptake in the right inguinal canal region around the patient’s known hernia. A hernia inflammation was suspected and the patient subsequently underwent surgical intervention for possible strangulation. Unexpectedly, the histopathologic evaluation of the surgical specimen revealed peritoneal metastasis in the inguinal canal. Although metastasis to this localization is rather rare, the use of PET/CT assisted in the discovery of unexpected metastasis in a rare location.

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
