Feasibility of Radioactive Embolization of Intracranial Aneurysms Using <sup>32</sup> P-Implanted Coils
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Beta radiation can prevent recanalization after embolization. Our goal was to assess the feasibility of endovascular treatment of intracranial aneurysms using coils of a predetermined activity of 32P per centimeter. METHODS: We studied the total length of coils deployed into 357 intracranial aneurysms. Aneurysmal volumes were estimated using 3 mathematical models. We simulated that coils were implanted with 0.26 microCi/cm of 32P, calculated resulting volumetric activities, and compared them with "effective" levels derived from experimental data and "safe" levels prescribed for the clinical use of 32P in cystic craniopharyngiomas. RESULTS: Effective activities would have been reached in 92% to 98% of lesions had the coils been radioactive at the time of treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Radioactive coil embolization of aneurysms is feasible in most patients.

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.
