Abstract
Whole-body bone scintigraphy (bone scan) using a (99m)Tc-labelled pharmaceutical is one of the most commonly performed radionuclide examinations. In the normal patient, both the osseous components of the skeletal system as well as the kidneys and bladder are visualized. A superscan is defined as a bone scan which demonstrates markedly increased skeletal radioisotope uptake relative to soft tissues, in association with absent or faint genito-urinary tract activity. While a superscan is relatively uncommon, its recognition is important, as it is associated with a number of important underlying diseases. The purpose of this review article is to describe the causes and variable features of a superscan and depict patterns which may aid in defining the underlying cause for the scan. In addition, we will discuss other investigations that may help further to identify the underlying disease in such cases.

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
