Bibliographic record
Abstract
Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.Helen Keller, American author and political activist(1880-1968)The Canadian Association of Radiologists Journal (CARJ)continuestomoveforward,with2011beingagoodyearoverall.Submissions to the Journal have continued to increase, withmore than 115 manuscript submissions during the 2011 year.Theincreasednumberofsubmissionshasputusinthesituationin which we have had to increase the rejection rate of manu-scripts, which has also, unfortunately, resulted in something ofabacklogofmanuscriptsforpublication;however,thisislessanalarming situation than when the current editorial team hadtakenovertheJournalmorethan2yearsago.Atthattime,therewere barely enough manuscripts available for the next issue oftheJournal.Iamalsopleasedtoreportthattheoverallqualityofsubmissions has increased, and, it is hoped that, in the comingyears, the impact factor of the Journal will reflect this.We are also adding a new deputy editor to the Journal,David Valenti, MD, of McGill University. Dr Valenti is aninterventionalradiologist,andhewillbehelpinguswithanewundertaking that CARJ has embarked upon this year. TheCanadian Interventional Radiology Association (CIRA) hasagreed to collaborate with the Canadian Association of Radi-ologists (CAR) in producing a CIRA supplemental issue,which will appear alongside the regular August CARJ. In thisway,Canadian interventional radiologists willbe able to haveanewvoiceintheliterature,providingaCanadianperspectiveand also addressing uniquely Canadian issues. This alsoexpandsthenumberoftotalpagesavailabletoCARJ.BoththeCAR and CIRA should benefit from this collaborative under-taking,whichhasafurtheradvantageofprovidinganeconomyof scale for both organizations in this publication project.SignificantchangeswilloccurwiththeContinuingMedicalEducation (CME) feature of the Journal, ‘‘Insights4Imaging’’(I4I), whichappearsin everyissueof CARJ. A printed versionof the CMEI4I questions will no longer appear in the Journal.TheywillbetransferredtoadedicatedWebsite(www.cpd.car.ca). This Web site will allow readers to score their answersonlineandsubmittheanswerstotheirquestionselectronically,which will save readers the trouble of having to make papercopiesofthequestions,answerthem,andmailthem.Thiswillalso provide an enormous amount of time saving for the CARand CARJ, because paper copies have proven to be unwieldyand result in a very tedious and very time-consuming processforthisimportantfeatureoftheJournal.Thisyear,238quizzesweresubmitted,whichledtotheawardingof896CMEcredits,a30%increaseoverthepreviousyear.TheCMEfeatureoftheJournalhasbeenformallyreaccreditedbytheRoyalCollegeofPhysiciansofCanada.DedicatedreadersoftheJournalshouldbe able to acquire approximately 20 CME hours over the nextyear, whichcorrespondsto 60RoyalCollegecredits,a signifi-cantportionoftheannualCMErequirement.Ishouldalsopointout that the reviewers of CARJ articles can also claim CMEcredits by claiming reviews as learning projects.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
