Abstract
Semi-automatic segmentation of the prostate boundary is presented for the pre-operational images of the MRIguided \nultrasonic thermal therapy of the prostate cancer. The specific deformable surface method is based on \nfirstly fitting an ellipsoid on the given manual landmark points, then modifying the shape of the initialization \nsurface mesh by masking out the regions of the separately segmented bladder and rectum, and finally adapting \nthe surface mesh by searching image for the edge boundaries in the direction of the surface normal. The \nsuggested segmentation method combines information from two types of pre-operational MR-images showing \ndifferent contrast for the tissue structure. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) between the semi-automatic \nsegmentation and the manual reference was on average 0.89 for a group of N=5 patients having the MRI guided \nultrasound thermal treatment. The robustness of the surface fitting method was tested by simulating 30 \nrandomized initialization sets of the landmark points for each patient, and the resulting standard deviation of \nDSC was 0.01.

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
