Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A device for robot-assisted brachytherapy has been designed for use with a minimally-invasive surgical robot such as the ZEUStrade It may be loaded with a standard brachytherapy needle allowing the robot to position its tip at a specified location within cancerous tissue. The device accurately retracts a hollow needle loaded with radioactive seeds while a stationary plunger pushes the seeds out into the tissue. The position error when retracting the needle is less than 0.05 mm. The use of this device, together with image-guidance for needle placement, can improve radiation dose delivery when treating certain types of lung cancer. The incorporation of this device into robotic systems that are already approved for clinical use can potentially allow it to be commercialized much sooner than competitive technology

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
