Abstract
Virtual reality based simulation can facilitate training, rehearsal, and intra-operative assistance used to improve the accuracy and quality of prostate brachytherapy, in this paper, we introduce a 3D real-time interactive simulation of needle insertion and seed implantation for prostate brachytherapy and report on the haptic feedback model used in this system. A deformable soft tissue model has been generated based on the restricted 3D ChainMail method to account for tissue deformation during needle insertion. A direct manipulation model for dynamic needle-tissue interaction was adopted. Haptic feedback, mimicking forces experienced in real procedures was provided to enhance realism and training outcome. The brachytherapy procedure has been simulated to demonstrate the errors caused by tissue deformation. Functionally, the simulation software is divided into two parts: visual simulation and haptic rendering. The preliminary implementation results of this simulation have demonstrated to be useful and promising.

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
