Quantification of accuracy of the automated nonlinear image matching and anatomical labeling (ANIMAL) nonlinear registration algorithm for 4D CT images of lung
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The performance of the ANIMAL (Automated Nonlinear Image Matching and Anatomical Labeling) nonlinear registration algorithm for registration of thoracic 4D CT images was investigated. The algorithm was modified to minimize the incidence of deformation vector discontinuities that occur during the registration of lung images. Registrations were performed between the inhale and exhale phases for five patients. The registration accuracy was quantified by the cross-correlation of transformed and target images and distance to agreement (DTA) measured based on anatomical landmarks and triangulated surfaces constructed from manual contours. On average, the vector DTA between transformed and target landmarks was 1.6 mm. Comparing transformed and target 3D triangulated surfaces derived from planning contours, the average target volume (GTV) center-of-mass shift was 2.0 mm and the 3D DTA was 1.6 mm. An average DTA of 1.8 mm was obtained for all planning structures. All DTA metrics were comparable to inter observer uncertainties established for landmark identification and manual contouring.

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.
